    Having just attended a speed awareness course I can tell you that all vans are limited to 50mph on roads (not dual carriageways or motorways or in restricted areas...).

    Car derived vans are not.

    So does a Berlingo car qualify as a van for the purposes of the law? If so it explains a lot.

    Why would anyone (other than a mimsing carphound obviously) deliberately buy a car that was speed-restricted like that?

    Vans without a side window, if it has a side window its different.
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    The Nazi that took the course was very clear as we challenged him on this (I sited such things as railway vans, the Ford Transits that have a second row of seats) and he said 'if it's a van it's 50'. Hence now I really annoy people when driving the works VW Crafter at 50MPH on the A46/A52 sometimes... (well they could be really happy and waving at me?).

    :rotfl: jase.

    Reminds me of a time driving home from work at 6am at [strike]80[/strike] 60 mph - following someone in a work's van doing the same speed.

    Other drivers weren't surprised when he overtook, but when the Picanto followed him........ :rotfl:
