Answer 1

goto vosa web site all info regarding new law,The speed limit has not changed for vans & trucks just that everyone abused it the new regulation requires you to fit a speed limiter asper hgv so can do no more than 56mph it will be checked at next mot. if your van or truck requires a speed limiter ( depends on age & size of vehicle) & you haven't got one you are for the high jump

Answer 2

Might help to know where you live.

Answer 3

Answer 4

All our 7.5 ton trucks are limited to 56mph.. (Used to go 86mph). They are now doing our Ford Transits to 70mph..Which do 90+ ... I work in Construction and although I agree keeping to speed limits, working 140 miles away and having to leave at 17:00 to get home every evening sucks.
