Van speed limits

[XG332]

Am I right in thinking that the speed limits for a vauxhall vivaro/ Renault Trafic would be:
SC - 50mph
DC - 60mph
MW - 70mph

[RJP001]

Yes, provided it's a solid panel van.

Try telling that to the transit that went passed me at over 80 leptons.

What about a Kombi ?

[DanielSan]

Long wheel base sprinter has 155mph speed limit. Everywhere.

That's one fast Transit!!!!! Don't think even the XJ220 engined tranny would do that speed!

What about Citroen Dispatch?



50mph and 60mph?

The whole "leptons" thing is for people paranoid about admitting their own speed. I think you'd be OK just using mph like normal people.

50,60 & 70 if the mgw is over 2000kg, my Fiat Scudo is over.

Really? I was doing 70 on the motorway and he/she flew passed me.

any 'van' over 2100kgs gvw (or mpw, mgw etc) is subject to the lower limit, changes again at 3500kgs, some 'panel' vans go up to 4500 or 5000kgs without actually looking that 'different'

Also of course applies to the other 'types' such as drop side pick ups, luton vans etc.

Quite sure it catches a lot of people out but I do not know how often it is enforced and WVM seems to be fairly well unmolested by plod at 60 on NSL single carriageways
