speed limiters

davidlandy:
I hear that from the 1st Jan 2005 all commercial vehicles over 3.5tonnes and any passenger carrying vehicles between 8-12 seats need to have a speed limiter fitted!!  Not sure of the speed they need to be limited to but assume that it may as per the trucks ie 56mph.

so if its a retrofit all of you out there with 110 CSWs may have to watch out!  

Not that they get out there much but I further believe that they will also be banned from using the fast lane on a motorway!!  

fact or fiction?????

muddyweb:
That would only apply to 110s registered as commercial vehicles or passenger carrying vehicles though wouldn't it ?

Or have I missed something.....   :?

Vam:
They want to limit the speed of Landi? :wink:
Are they serious????

Why?  Mine happyest at 6o, have rarely had her at 70MPH
(Got to 75 once (down hill, wind behind me etc)

As for the seats, well mine is a 5 seater now, cubby space in front middle and bench seats taken out of back, told insurance compay and they reckon it's now covered for 7 people (work that one out! :roll: )

Any way trucks and lorries do go faster than 56 MPH  everything overtakes me on the Motorway....

Is this another windup, like the copyrite one :wink:
