VAN fleets are walking a legal tightrope amid confusion about the speed limits their drivers should stick to.
Fleets are finding that inconsistencies by dealers when registering sub two-tonne vans are effectively creating two speed limits.
The Highway Code says car-derived vans weighing up to two tonnes can travel at 60mph on single carriageways and 70mph on dual carriageways and motorways, effectively making them the same as cars.
But in addition it says goods vehicles under 7.5 tonnes are restricted to 50mph on single carriageways, 60mph on dual carriageways and 70mph on motorways. There is no clear lower limit on this rule.
