A racking hose is a flexible, plastic hose, used to siphon wine or beer from one vessel to another. It is used in both racking and bottling operations. A racking cane is a rigid tube, often bent or L-shaped, that is attached to the racking hose to make racking easier.
The FTA pointed out that the current speed limit was introduced in the 1960s and that since then lorry technology had advanced considerably. Gary Rae, campaigns manager for road safety charity Brake, said: We are disappointed that the Government has gone against the advice of road safety groups on this issue.
A properly set speed limit will be within 3 miles per hour (Â±) of this observed speed. The posted speed limit will then be rounded to the nearest 5 miles per hour. Research has shown that the 85th percentile speed is the speed where accident involvement is the lowest. Reducing the speed limit below what is warranted can actually be detrimental to safety.
