a mate has recived a speeing ticket through the post. he was driving a 3500kg axle van no windows in the back )dont no if that make a difference) 60 limit doing 63. so yeah over the limit, but it says on the ticket that the van can only go only 50 mph. Not sure on this myself, any help would be great or a link to a web site that say's what viehicle can do what speed.

thanks in advance graeme

Here's the speeding link. I went on a speed awareness course after getting flashed. Not many people knew that van limits are 50 on a single carriage way. Also big trucks are 40mph! I just thought they were slower f*ckers! I got pulled a week later overtaking a truck :nelson:

they aint slow bud most artics are putting out 500+ bhp an 2500nm of torque but have a 56mph limiter on them, also the gearing doesnt allow for speeds ;)

you should see just the tractor unit on its own go can shift to 56mph if you can get through the gears quick enough any where from 8+ :shock:

alot of people dont know the speed limits for artics etc (apart from people who drive them etc lol) and get annoyed at there speed :mac1:

I thought that the trucks on the A21 were slow, didn't know that they were subject to a 40 not 60MPH limit, sort of makes sense, 40tonnes x 60MPH = a lot of damage in an accident. Must have been a hand held camera, as an automatic one wouldn't flash at 63MPH

Thats a great site mate. Just spent ages reading through. Wish I knew about it early in the year as I managed to get 6 points on my licence, I really wanted to contest them but due to lack of info and time I just accepted them to save the hassle.

http://www.safespeed.org.uk is worth an evening's reading too :)
