Van Speed Limits

[james.wilson]

I'd limit them all electronically to 28mph and ban them from the motorways.

lol

[Scotmod]

Our connects are limited to 57-61mph depending on the installer. Haven't been done yet but it's bleeding annoying trying to overtake anything.

Nemo/Fiorino/Bipper drivers............

The law states that “car-derived vans up to a 2 tonnes max laden weight” can drive at the same speed as cars, but despite having passenger car versions, the Fiat, Citroen and Peugeot vehicles aren’t classified as car-derived vans because they were homologated for sale first as commercial vehicles.

hell of a loading bay in it!!)

the first was on the A 27 going into worthing

it aint the £60.00 i worry about its the bloody points!!!!

do you know if you are offered a `driver improvment course, and you tell your insurance firm, you cost goes UP but sometimes if you only have

3 points on your licwense for a SP30 or SP10 it does not, sucks really !!!

but i am not doing to bad see is how i clock up over 80k a year, year in and year out for the last 27 odd years

and have only had about speeding tickets!!!

[norman]

I'm guessing you would have been pulled @ those speeds in a car anyway.

[PeterJames]

i clock up over 80k a year,

Ive told you a million times not to exaggerate, there are only 8765.81 hours in a year half of them you are asleep= 4382.90 104 days are weekends - 2496 = 1,886.90and you are entitled to 28 days holiday leaving just 1,214 if you spent all of those hours driving (which I doubt as you would not be earning your boss any money) you would have to be doing a constant speed of 66 mph the whole time

[james.wilson]

80k is good going i thought i was ott with 50k

[PeterJames]

80k is good going i thought i was ott with 50k

42mph the whole time (more acheivable) I do about 25-30K a year my missus does 20k in 5 years

[james.wilson]

yeah but i already have a bad rep for speed and walls etc. im quite ashamed at 42 mph to be honest

[whistle]

20 / 25k here, that's why the leased Audi went back early as I should have only done 18k a year. It was cheaper to pay the fine to send it back early than pay 12p excess mileage fine.
