If you want a difficult one, you should as the same question, but for a 7.5 tonne truck.

or even replace 7.5 tonne truck with vans.

Indeed Andy. There was and continues to be a load of 'em booked in South and South West Wales, Daily.

And when asked what is the speed limit for their Van - the drivers reply 70mph.

Mr Police officer replies "No, it's 60mph, now here's your speeding ticket", "Have a nice day".

Been like it for years Mate.

With regard to the "Not well Publised"... It is in black and white and as Learner drivers - We should read the Highway Code from Front to Back.

And as responsible drivers, we should buy any ammended Highway code books.

i cant remember anything being said about the van thing when i done my test, i knew about the 7.5t and above, but it wasnt until after the test when i found out about the 2t van thing. although things may have changed in the last 5 years?

I passed 17 years ago (car) and it was like it then.

a dual carriageway is a road with 2 surfaces, so anything with some sort of barrier/grass in the middle.

Like this one a few miles from where I live. As somebody once observed, it's a dual country lane!
