ahe Shetland Isles rarely feature in CM but that is about to change since the Hawk's correspondent has just returned from a visit to that northern outpost. There hauliers complain at the expense of fitting speed limiters to meet the 56mph maximum. No different from the rest of us, you might say, we all have to foot that bilL True, but there is nowhere on Shetland where this work can be carried out, so vehicles have to be shipped to the Scottish mainland. It takes time, it costs monev—and the maximum speed limit in the Shetlands is 40mph. Appeals from the islands' tiny haulage population for an EU exemption have, so far, fallen on deaf ears.
