V5 document "vehicle category"

Post by Hvd » Mon Jan 24, 2022 10:23 pm

A friend of mine recently got done for speeding, doing 60 on single carriageway, in a ford van.
Got me thinking. Are Bongos classed as cars or vans for speed limit purposes?
Thanks

What is your taxation class on the V5, older ones are usually motorcaravan, more recent ones (since DVLA changed rules) are MPV or similar, however all are still cars not speed limited vans.
