Closed Make the speed limits for larger vans the same as cars.

Closed on

Transit sized vans are restricted to 50mph on single carriageways which anyone that drives one knows is not always a good thing. More time in your van means less work can be done. Also it seems no one wants to be stuck behind a van at 50mph. Reckless overtaking of vans is a common occurrence.

Bringing the speed limit in line with cars would be a good thing and could possibly cause less accidents. Vans are as safe as a lot of cars nowadays.
