law

Followed this VW Transporter tonight, it had white reflective tape on the rear doors. Very distracting. Is it legal? Discuss..

Thought I would put this here, in case it was of use to anyone else. Today I received a speeding fine in the post from the Spanish DGT. It was incurred on our recent trip to Spain/Portugal. Apparently I was doing 113kmh in a 90kmh zone. I can't argue with them as I have no idea specifically...

I get that a T28 can gave a gross weight of 2.8 tonnes, but is that simply the specified weight, or the legal weight? If I load it to 3 tonnes, am I breaking the law or just risking breaking my suspension? I currently have a T28 T5.1 (why are they both 'T' numbers??) and sometimes I'm sure...

TFL - London - Rotherhithe Tunnel Fine Just a warning to anyone around London thinking of using the Rotherhithe tunnel to cross the Thames river . . . . TFL have just slapped me with a £130 fine for going through the tunnel !! Contravention - Vehicles more than 2 metres (6'6") high, 2 metres...

Hi, a little help required re the V5. I have recently received my V5 from the DVLA for my T6 which was converted to a campervan by a local company. He sent the docs off with photos etc as per changes to the use etc of the vehicle and the returned V5 in my name just states the Van as a VAN/SIDE...

So yesterday I had the pleasure of doing a 'drivers awareness' course in Uttoxeter after a slight mishap and nudging over the speed limit in Stoke on trent a while ago. Now, i've been on the UK's roads for 27 years, and do my share of miles up and down this country every day, but I learnt some...

Just read this in the local free Metro paper, lazy reporter can't even differentiate between a transit and a T6. But I bet 410lbs of cocaine deadened the road rumble noise. I always knew those team starlight blue boys were wrong-uns. :thumbsup::whistle:

Its our first time driving through France this year and we are looking for advice. From the eurotunnel to the south of France google maps has the fastest route going through Paris. I imagine this is a bad idea so maybe take a longer route down. We are heading to Luchon for le tour and heading...

Worrying statistics here...

At a recent show I saw a bloke advertising his new overnight sleeper mini coach. Merc sprinter with 12 beds. Got me wondering whether people can sleep in camper conversions and motorhomes (rock n roll bed). Can't find anything definitive online. Lots of opinions and anecdotes.

Just a thought- our conversions are usually self sufficient. I'm sure we have all used or know of Wild Camp locations. Perhaps we can list/host the locations region by region? Admin could make it a VIP member area if not suitable for general release so as to stop bots finding and disseminating...

This is potentially a daft question but what driving licence category do you need for a vw campervan? I can drive up to 7.5 tonnes on my licence but my wife only has a few categories and now wondering if she is even allowed to drive it

Hi all, I've got factory fitted LED lights all round on my T6 and I'm travelling from the UK to Belgium and then on into France. A question - EU law says drivers need to carry spare headlight bulbs, but how can I comply with this when I've got LED units? (which are presumably sealed units)...

These are ny current seats in the rear. Can anyone tell me if/ what is legal for my daughter (4) to use while traveling? Or do we still need to use her current car seat? Each seat has the head bumpers (like the left seat). Thanks.

Would ideally like to downplate my T30 to a T26 or lower. This is for towing reasons. I only need to tow a 925kg gross weight trailer. My license restricts me to 3500kgs total gross. Any experience anyone?

I'm trying to work out what vehicle class a new VW T6 Kombi would fall into ... This has been discussed previously here I see (Kombi speed limit ?), but information I have found elsewhere seems as though it might contradict this. According to these links, and if I am correct, a VW Kombi could...

Got a NIP in the post yesterday for the van, 57mph when the limit was apparently 50mph. This was for a trip we did in Wales last weekend, and I do remember going past the mobile camera, thinking "that's OK, it's a 60mph limit, and I am doing just under 60mph". I queried it with their call...

Morning All, As you can now get 6 points for holding your phone (amongst other things) while driving, does any body know of a good iPhone holder. Some of you must have none 'Heath Robinson' versions that we can install in our treasured vans. Cheers

what are the speed limits for a factory built kombi as I'm not 100% sure , had this conversation in work today. It's a commercial vehicle derived car
