No.2 of three - Road Signs

Truck Weight Limit - nice detail on the lorry, but the text doesn't all line up neatly. You used to be able to drive up to 16.5 ton lorries on a normal driving license, but now you can't. What is strange is that, when I passed me test in 1990, I was entitled to drive a 16.5 ton truck. And I still am entitled today. But if I took my test today, a test that is apparantly more difficult and features a seperate theory part, I would not be entitled to drive this large vehicle.
