  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986.\nRegulation 36B required certain heavy goods vehicles to be fitted with a speed limiter and for the limiter to be so set that the stabilised speed of the vehicle is less than 56 mph. These Regulations amend regulation 36B so that in general the stabilised speed of these vehicles will have to be not more than 90 km/h (approximately 55.9 mph) and the limiter will have to be set at not more than 85 km/h (approximately 52.8 mph). However, it will be permissible for a limiter to be set at a particular speed above 85 km/h if the processes used in the construction of the vehicle, the limiter and its other equipment are such as to ensure that the stabilised speed of the vehicle is not more than 90 km/h when the limiter is set at that speed.\nRegulation 36B implements Council Directive 92/6 (OJ No. L57, 2.3.92, p.27) and Council Directive 92/94 (OJ No.L129, 14.5.92, p.92).\nCopies of the Directives can be obtained from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.\nA compliance cost assessment has been prepared and copies can be obtained from the Department of Transport, Zone 2/05, Great Minster House, 76 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DR (telephone 0171-271 4653). Copies are being placed in the Libraries of each House of Parliament.",
