Non car derived vans are subject to the same speed limits as Goods vehicles, 60mph on a DC. 3.5T Luton vans are only allowed in lane 3 of the motorway so long as they are empty-carrying no load at all. |

Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
I'm sure i read vans are supposed to do 10mph less on mways and dual carriageways, car derived vans are exempt.

Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
First bike had to do a full on emergency stop and handled it very well. The forks were on full compression and the front tyre was chattering on the tarmac as he came to a halt. Perhaps his bike had ABS.
Second bike if you look at his helmet cam couldn't see the copper walk out as his view was obscured by the first bike, the first bikes brake light wasn't that obvious because of the fog. At that speed he was probably looking past the first bike at the road ahead anyway. He had less time to react and his braking skills weren't up to scratch, but how many of us can honestly say we practice our emergency braking, know exactly what we can and can't do, and would have certainly have done a better job of it. He wasn't doing much more than 10 mph when he hit the back of the first bike so he wouldn't have been much more than a bikes length further in stopping. Third bike could see the copper walk out and had a much greater distance to stop. The copper is a complete KNOB and he's lucky the first bike didn't either bin it first or hit him. |
