Evening all, my boss is investing in an iveco daily with a (GVW) 7.2 tonne which will be a curtainsider and sleeping pod on top of the cab , this will mainly doing multi drop around ■■■■■■■ and Scotland. “the van is still being built so the GVW might change”

Now my question is this,can the above mentioned vehicle use the 7.5 tonne restricted roads ■■? and does it have to stick to the 40mph speed on limit on single carriage ways in Scotland ■■ As its over 3.5t its classed as LGV so am assuming it will governed by those laws??

I have been searching the forums and online for a bit of clarification on using a lgv like this but not found much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris

What clarification do you need? It has a GVW of 7.2 tonnes so it is subject to the rules for vehicles with a GVW of over 3.5 tonnes. It has a GVW of 7.2 tonnes so it is not subject to the rules for vehicles with a GVW of over 7.5 tonnes.

Thanks Joe think i am getting the jist of this , so if i we drive this in Scotland on single carriage ways we can do 50mph :smiley: that was my main concern and use all the 7.5t weight retricted roads without fear of prosecution.

We have always done ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ in 3.5t vans over a couple of days and had to stay in B&B’s evening meal couple of pints and breakfast paid for by company but i guess the expense was getting to much so this will now be done in the 7.2 t iveco sleeper.

Thanks Chris
