What are the speed limits for small vans?
I am thinking of changing from our ageing Citroen C3 Picasso to either a Citroen Berlingo or Peugot Rifter. I don't want to get caught by van speed limits though and it's hard to find clear info. What are the speed limits for these types of vans?

Although both of these are small vans and the Citroen Berlingo is also sold as a passenger car (to which car speed limits apply) the van versions are registered as commercial vehicles and must adhere to van speed limits – namely 50mph on single carriageway roads, 60mph on dual carriageways and 70mph on motorways when the national speed limit applies.

Is it correct that the law states that speeds are 10mph less on some UK roads for vans? I don't see many comply, including myself, and I have 45+ years experience driving vans.
