Thats is still the case, unless said van (transit custom, VW T5's T6's etc) have a rear window, then one can drive at car speed limits

absolute stupid law

I did exactly that, bought a car, road tested it up to 40mph,
50mph a violent vibration appeared, drove from London
to Normanton West Yorks, as you say fecking boring,
the car was easily fixed, turns out that the prop shaft
had been taken off and not put back in the original
position, just a case of undoing 4 bolts turn the shaft
and re fix, happy days.

Ah - well I technically don't have the extra points yet as my license is yet to be sent off and endorsed.

Will let you know about insurance.

with mine I had to make a decision by 4th July, paid before then
done nothing else, haven't heard a thing, is this normal, I thought
the 3 points went on the license digitally (at DVLA) not actually on
the license, first offence so haven't got a clue
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
