what fran said

Ditto.....but still a clean licence

This has been the case for at least 4 years.
I know because it was 4 years ago when i got stopped for doing 70 on a dual carriageway.
The only vans that dont apply are vans with a car chassis. ( Escort , Astra etc.)

[Neil Williams]

Just remember, a fixed point camera can't tell if it's a car, van or lorry.
It's the unmarked fookin stealth patrol that will catch you

There was a little sticker on my van windscreen when I purchased it with the limits took me a year to spot it

I knew this..

I didn't believe them the first time so went for a hat trick.

On the last 3 I was in our little transit connect when they pulled me. The two traffic cops couldn't decide between them what the limit was. They had me at 74 on the gun.  Asked if the guy that thought it was 70 was right would they let me off. No he replied. We have you at 90 odd on the video but we will give you the lower so we don't need to go to court cause that will be an instant ban for you and hassle for us.

I wish I could achieve those speeds.

I wish I knew this last year before I was zapped.....

[John Kelly]

It was news to me.

[Jamie Pearson]

I only found out when the council vans started to have them written on the back.

If you drive a vehicle like this.......

Motorways are still 70

Some cameras have height sensors on that can tell the difference between a car and lorry I know this courtesy of a camera on the A303 when I was driving artics, I also know of another on the A420 from Swindon to Oxford. But don't think they are set up for Vans.

50 mile an hour for a transit connect, is just another money making scam brought in around 5 years ago with out any prior notice, we were caught out by it two years ago and non body knew about it, how is a small van any different from a estate car or people carrier..of course it's not and the police I talk to agree..

incidently if pulled over by the police for speeding and they tell you what speed you were doing, never agree that you were  when 'interviewed' at the side of the road..you have the right to not accept their 'evidence' especially if just a few miles an hour over.you maybe pleasantly surprised when they let you go with a caution.....Sometimes  

I have an Expert and they are Taxis . Most of the the time i toottle along at 60 but on Motorways I have been through speed camera at 70 maybe im just lucky or is that the fixed ones  do not see why they cannot tell diffrences etc

[Andrew Briscoe]

Always ask to see that days calibration test for the equipment, you will be suprised
how often they dont bother doing it

Actually the police go by the registration number and if that reg no is registered to a van you will be fined if speeding,
Had that explained to me on a speed awarness test as well!

A fixed point camera wouldn't take your picture if you were in a van, and travelling at a speed which is legal for a car.

[clinton]

I too learned this a few months ago on a speed awarness course.

[tony harrison]

Thanks for that info John.
 
I did not know that, so you may have saved me from fine and penalty points.

Regards Tony.
