Is the wrong answer. It could be a single carriageway or a double carriageway. It could be an urban clearway. It is not as simple as just the street lights.

Don't forget to tell your insurance company that you've attended a Speed awareness course. They'll tell you on the course that you don't have to tell your insurance company but, after you've been on the course they enter your name onto a database which all insurance companies have access to.

I nearly came a cropper when I went on the course, they came out with the drivel that you don't have to tell your insurance company, 2 months after I'd been on the course they wrote to me to inform me that my premium had increased by £450 due to me being on the course. If I'd just taken the three points it would've added £150 to my premium, add the £100 fine total £250. Instead I paid £110 to go on the course, lost a days wages of £100+ and the £450 increase on my premium total £660.

just be careful because there's people out there who have been on the course and not notified their insurance company.

We didn't have to notify our LO

when I did it it was run by two driving instructors

I think Mr T the answer to your question is in the absence of speed indication signs the default is 30MPH where there are street lights otherwise it is in accordance with the speed signs

Almost as if you had Googled it... After 50+years of driving..a refresher course is not a bad thing and if I am asked`I will inform them..

30 MPH...... unless speed signs say different...

The MOST unenforced speed limit must be dual carriage way 60mph limit for vans exceeding 2tonne GVW


Car-derived vans

Car-derived vans are designed to weigh no more than 2 tonnes when loaded and are based on car designs (eg Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa), or the vehicle is built from a platform which has been designed to be built as a car or a van.

As a general rule, from the outside, these vehicles will look like the size of a car, but on the inside the vehicle will look like and function as a van, because there will be:

no rear seats, rear seat belts or mountings
a payload area with floor panel in the rear of the vehicle
no side windows in the rear of the vehicle or if present, side windows will be opaque and fixed (with no means of opening or closing)

If you want to find out more information about the design of your vehicle and whether your van is car-derived, you can check your log book and the description in the field ‘body type’. This will tell you how the vehicle has been classified by the manufacturer.

If you believe your new vehicle is a car-derived van, but has not been registered as one, you should contact your dealer. If you have bought a second-hand vehicle you believe is car-derived, but has not been registered as one, you should contact the manufacturer.
