lee grout Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Surely none of this matters, the offense is strict liability, even doing 72 on the motorway is punishable if they really want to. With that though phil, I thought that they give you the benefit of the doubt that couple mph. If your speedo says 70, their gun says 72 who is to say who's in the wrong? Thats why I always believed they gave you a percentage of leaniency. Although with a clearcut no like 76/77 in a 70 thats quite right in a resulting fine etc. Edited July 25, 2013 by lee grout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalelc16 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Vans can do 70 if thay have a rear window and a side window.Thats why most private van such as some transporter sportlines have windows Also having a side window means cheaper insurance, also you dont need a pass to go and thriw rubish away But yes work vans should do 60 unless fitted with windows. I had this problem and went to court but i had a side and rear window,which i had to prove i had.They dropd all charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 2 + 10% is still the guidance at the cps, ignore the nip if you are certain the piece of road is a 70mph zone and nothing will happen. if the roads a 60 limit take the 3 points dont argue Vans can do 70 if thay have a rear window and a side window.Thats why most private van such as some transporter sportlines have windows Also having a side window means cheaper insurance, also you dont need a pass to go and thriw rubish away But yes work vans should do 60 unless fitted with windows. I had this problem and went to court but i had a side and rear window,which i had to prove i had.They dropd all charges. really?? pretty sure its to do with the weight/useage not the number of windows... in your world can you only do 63 if you have a back window but its limo tinted or perhaps 67 if the back windows good but you havent got a third rearview mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
