Been caught speeding in a Vauxhall combi - which speed limit applies?
I have received a notice of intended prosecution for a company vehicle I was driving. The vehicle is a Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 LWB combi. It has six seats; three in front and three in the rear, with a bulkhead and storage area behind. All seating areas have glass, opening windows. The speed recorded was 71mph on a dual carriageway with proper crash barriers. What is the speed limit for this vehicle on a dual carriageway? I have been offered the chance of a speed awareness course. What do you think?

On a dual carriageway the limit is 60mph for a light van or minibus. It's only 70mph on a motorway. The ‘combi’ windows and seats make no difference. Grab the chance of the speed awareness course.
