Question

Difficulty: MediumSpeed Limits

A car-derived van with a maximum laden weight not exceeding 2 tonnes is subject to the same national speed limits as a standard passenger car on single and dual carriageways.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is correct because the UK Highway Code specifies that car-derived vans with a maximum laden weight of up to 2 tonnes have the same national speed limits as cars (60 mph on single carriageways and 70 mph on dual carriageways).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the vehicle category and its maximum laden weight.
The vehicle is a car-derived van with a maximum laden weight of 2 tonnes or less.
Vehicle weight and classification determine which speed limit tier applies under UK traffic law.
2
Recall the UK national speed limit rules applicable to this vehicle category.
Car-derived vans up to 2 tonnes share the 60 mph single carriageway and 70 mph dual carriageway limits of passenger cars.
The Highway Code explicitly groups cars, motorcycles, and car-derived vans up to 2 tonnes into the standard national speed limit category.
3
Evaluate the statement against the statutory rules.
The statement is accurate and true.
Both single and dual carriageway limits for car-derived vans up to 2 tonnes match those of passenger cars.
