I have A vw transporter through work, and was just chatting over dinner and speed limits came up and dad mentioned that my van's speed limit on a dual carrigeway would be 60mph, I didnt believe him as I thought that was vans over 3.5 tonnes etc, but low and behold I go the department of transport website and apparently the limit for vans is 50mph on single carrigeways and 60mph on dual carrigeways, how is this not more common knowledge!! I had absolutley no idea and could have gone past a van at 60mph quite happy in the knowldge i was within the speed limit when I am not!, Did everyone else already know about these limits??Van speed limits, how are they not wider knowledge
