Van limits HELP!!
Discussion
I've looked everywhere and got conflicting answers. I've asked friends who drive vans and got conflicting answers. I don't want to break the law so I am hoping someone here knows the answer.
I've been helping a friend out with some work this week and I've been driving one of his businesses vehicles - mostly driving in convoy with him and his other workers. I've asked 6 times if I am covered on the insurance and he's said yes so I think I am ok there. I've not asked to see proof but maybe I should.
Anyway, what are the speed limits for vans?
I've always thought it was:
50MPH on an NSL single carriageway
60MPH on a NSL dual carriageway
70 on a motorway
All other limits the same as cars. So a dual carriageway signposted as 60 is 60 for the van too right?
BUT, he is telling me vans aren't limited to 60 on a NSL dual carriageway (on a road like the A3) but I think it is.
Can anyone advise?
Just so we're clear this is the van
Thank you.
