Alfisti168 1st Gear October 23, 2009 Author Share October 23, 2009 (edited) but i thought some vans got a bench behind to sit people?? Therefore considered GPVs? Edited October 23, 2009 by Alfisti168 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicolor 5th Gear October 23, 2009 Share October 23, 2009 (edited) but i thought some vans got a bench behind to sit people?? Therefore considered GPVs? Some vans or lorries with benches behind are in theory only meant to carry workers, not passengers (friends, family etc.) although this is seldom enforced or penalized unless you're unlucky enough to get checked at random or get in an accident. GPVs such as double cab lorries and pickups have a passenger compartment behind the front one which can seat more passengers (not limited to workers) and as such have higher taxes.

Bystander50 5th Gear October 23, 2009 Share October 23, 2009 And not forgetting, u can treat it like a passenger car and add bodykits to it. Just make a trip ard Ubi where those bodykit workshopps are to c for yourself. The speed limit sticker at the back can be treated as another decal. TP or LTA seldom or close to never enforce the speed limits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make a trip ard Ubi where those bodykit workshopps are to c for yourself. The speed limit sticker at the back can be treated as another decal. TP or LTA seldom or close to never enforce the speed limits. The bit about the speed limit is not true. They do enforce the speed limits. It's just that the current speed limit for vans is now 70km/h, unlike the 50km/h when I first bought my van. This means that vans can now go much faster before reaching the limit. You can travel at 80km/h and they will leave you alone, but go past that and they'll nab you. Seen many cases along PIE already, especially during early afternoon. The only reason why it appears that they are less "on" now is cos it's easier to keep within 80km/h. Keeping within 50km/h requires patience - a lot of patience. Not to mention an extremely light right foot!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
