No but the CCTV cameras on busy roads might .And when you stick to 50mph on a 60 road you get idiots driving inches off your rear bumper! Will the average speed cameras get them?
mytake on the reason for the reduced limit is that with a fully laden van, your stopping distance is greater, so the 10mph slower limitcounteracts that.[/QUOTE/]
Years ago my mate got the 'Follow Me' van and taken to the local Ministry of Transport testing station.
His Transit van was down on one side a bit, the inspector asked him what he had in it , my mate said just tools, no building materials ; and he was telling the truth , although he did have an electric cement mixer in it . The rest was made up of all the usual hand tools,breakers, big hammers ,and the usual junk, much like we would carry to be honest.
Pretty sure a condition of being issued a driving license is that you regularly update your knowledge of the highway code. So the excuse that somebody wasn't aware falls foul of that general requirement.
Always worth picking up a current HWC and giving it a read through. A lot is changing in all sorts of areas and all drivers need to be across that.
I drive a motorhome so have been aware of the speed changes for some time. But of course its the fuel economy (or lack of) when you push it over 50 or 60. The white vans I see doing 80+ must be drinking fuel to save a few minutes on their journey time.
Yes im afraid it true but i don't get this law , if you have a great big range rover you can go the 70 but if your in a little berlingo you can only go 60. !!! I also wondered if those average speed cameras know if you are in a car of a van ??
Depends how fast you were going - you might get a speed awareness course, no points.
