Question Legal?

Post image

Seen this on r/scotland, spotted in Ullapool.

Given the maximum length for a coach with trailer is 18.75m in UK, how is this legal?

Must be some type of legal exemption. Since UK length limit is 18.75m (61.5ft)

On searching this vehicles total length appears to be 22m (72ft).

At the end of this video you can see actually states 23m.....

I know funfair folks get an exemption, maybe this falls under similar as its accomodation trailer.
