Cevap

60 mph is the maximum legal speed permitted for a car-derived van on a single carriageway road.
Car-derived vans with a maximum laden weight of up to 2 tonnes are legally treated the same as standard passenger cars under the UK Highway Code. On single carriageways where the national speed limit applies, the maximum speed is 60 mph.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the vehicle category and weight classification
The vehicle is a car-derived van weighing less than 2 tonnes maximum laden weight, which shares the same statutory speed allowances as standard passenger cars.
The Highway Code grants car-derived vans under 2 tonnes passenger car speed limits rather than commercial goods vehicle limits.
2
Identify the road layout and the governing limit
The road is a single carriageway subject to the national speed limit.
National speed limits vary by road classification (single carriageway, dual carriageway, or motorway).
3
Apply the statutory speed limit rule
The national speed limit for cars and car-derived vans on single carriageways is 60 mph.
Rule 124 of the Highway Code states that cars and car-derived vans may travel up to 60 mph on single carriageways.
