A confusing mess of speed limit types leaves some vehicles with an unusual exception - Matt Prior explains
Well, this is a little embarrassing. When I previously suggested that all drivers should be regularly reminded of their responsibilities on the road, reader Phil Townsend wrote to suggest that I ought not to be overtaking cars doing 60mph on dual carriageways in my Ford Ranger Raptor because its speed limit is also 60mph on such roads, owing to it being a light commercial vehicle.
Also, the speed limit rule for car-derived vans works only for vans spawned from cars, rather than vans that have spawned passenger versions. So the Corolla Commercial has car speed limits but the Citroën Berlingo is still defined as a van and therefore subject to lower speed limits . This can all be quite confusing, I think, and is certainly model-specific: Isuzu D-Maxes can qualify as dual-purpose vehicles, more road-focused pick-ups might not and no single-cab pick-up is allowed to.
