In this video we answer a number of very common question by discussing what speed you can legally travel at in a VW transporter type van that has been converted into a camper in the UK! We discuss the relevant laws/legislation and explain why the definition of your van on the V5 is not relevant to its legal speed limit. (A popular misconception) We also highlight what you need to check to confirm that your van meets the relevant legal definition of a "motor caravan”, enabling it to travel at the national speed limit, and what you should do if you believe that you have been issued with a speeding ticket or summons inappropriately.
Please note this information is provided in good faith but should NOT be relied upon or seen as an alternative to qualified legal advice where/when relevant! Also, that this is about understanding what constitutes the legal speed limit for your “motor caravan” (not dual purpose vehicle) and not encouraging anyone to go faster than their vehicle, their ability, local road conditions or the law allows.
Please everyone, drive safe!
