Hire van speed limits?
by bugadfino » Sat Nov 25, 2006 5:54 pm
A friend of mine is adamant there is a lower speed limit in force for hire vans. He claims he was a passenger in a van that was stopped for this offence, doing 70mph on a motorway. After politely telling him where to get off, I've searche the web for colabiration of his claims, with no avail but yet he still insists he is right. Please tell me I'm right & let me put him firmly in place.
Never argue with an idiot, others only see two idiots arguing.

I bet your friend is talking about dual carriage way and in which case he would be correct. The speed limit for a panel van on a dual carriage way with national speed limit is 60 not 70 like cars.
