Massive grey area's it seems, I don't have access to any documents relating to the van. Can you help?
I'm driving a van to work and have been under the impression that it is a car derived van from what I've found on it before.

Van in question is a 2015 Vauxhall combo 1.3 cdti. are these a car derived van or simply a van with the lower speed limit requirements?

I fell foul of this when i was younger, driving a connect and received points and a fine for traveling at 69mph on a dual carriageway, don't want to make the same mistake with this van.

So far my research has uncovered it is normal speeds if gross weigh is below 2t, I've found two different sources saying 1.7t and 2.01t

help me out please.

Thanks for the info guy's.

A bit of a curve ball here, the Ford Tourneo is basically a Transit Van with windows and seats and is classed as a car with the higher speed limits. How do they get around that? simply changing the tail gate to a hatch and call it a car?
