78MPH NIP Renault Traffic coverted to motor home

[Raykay]

Driving at 78 in a 70 zone is not an offence. Driving at 79 is.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, driving at anything over 70 is an offence, it is the guidelines that advise enforcement should start at 10%+2mph.

The information that arrived with NIP states that they will not prosecute for 78 mph in a car. Anything over and a speed awareness course will be offered. Over 85 and a prosecution will happen.

My van, which I was under the impression was a mobile home, and treated the same as a car, I think should not be limited to 60 mph on a dual carriage way.

The DVLA has said it is easy to change my V5 document, if this the case should I still be prosecuted for a paper error?

The highways agency has treated my vehicle as a car for the last two years and will only issue me with a car tag for the darford crossing.

When I was looking for information on the speed limit, for a Renault traffic, it would appear that many people driving them do not understand the differce of a dual carriage way limit.

If they have said that they will not prosecute for 78 in a car, once they realize that you have a motor caravan which has the same limit as a car, they should take no further action.

Thanks to all, for your suggestions, a satisfactory conclusion.

1) A reminder to all, who drive light goods vehicle, to check the speed limit for their vans.

2) Any one else who has not reclassified their vehicle, do it now, its easy.

Thanks to the DVLA, they were most helpful.

And thanks to the Police Force for their honest and speedy answer.
