I stand corrected. Every day’s a school day.
Speed limits
- Thread starter Pontius
- Start date
Got a speeding ticket through just 2 weeks ago for 59mph in a 60 (single carriageway).
Mine's a T32 LWB kombi - side and rear window. N1/ van with windows on the V5.
Sent an appeal with details of interior (2nd row of seats) and that it qualified under DPV specs. Ticket got dropped.

Did you need to provide pics?
I ask as my camper doesn't have 'permanent cooking facilities', so fails the C&U definition of a camper. I have visions of having to provide AI "enhanced" photos that show a hob in my van that doesn't actually exist!

Other cardboard-based snacks are available!
I didn't realise until I got an SP30, just over 10 years ago, and it wasn't in a 30mph zone, so did a bit of research before I went to have a chat with a couple of magistrates.
Really? I was going by what it says under heading "Category 3: Cooking facilities" here...
Internal features for motor caravans
It doesnt have to be a motor caravan. It can be a dual purpose vehicle (from gov.uk):Really? I was going by what it says under heading "Category 3: Cooking facilities" here...

(Your van may fall foul of the ratio of size of passenger to goods area.)

The unladen weight of my LWB DSG T32 exceeds 2040kg, so I'm wholly reliant on meeting Motor Caravan criteria in order to qualify for car speed limits.
My newly acquired van is also a T32 LWB kombi. It is also an N1 van/side windows on the V5. I was under the impression that because of the weight being over 2040 I would be subject to van speed limits. I understand that if/when I convert it to a motor caravan, I would be able to argue that it is subject to the same speed limits as a car. Am I wrong?
If you manage to get it registered with the DVLA as a Motorcaravan, you'll be fortunate. But if you do, normal car limits apply
From all I have read, the DVLA doesn't re-register converted vans as Motorcaravans any longer. Are there exceptions and what are the best strategies?
fwiw I don't think I have a real issue with a lower speed limit, so it is mostly to make sure I don't risk getting tickets
This.
In the words of the late great Meatloaf “you took the words right out of my mouth.” I’ll leave it there before we get to the bit where you’re kissing me.
I got mine done a few months ago, but it met all the criteria to a tee......Hightop helps
