Guys - this may be old hat BUT: I got nicked in Scotland for doing over 60mph in my Vito Sport. I thought the speed limit was 70mph on a dual carriageway. But found that I was classed as a commercial vehicle and so my limit apparently was 50mph. I got so much mixed information about whether the Vito Dualiner was a car or a commercial vehicle that it was just a mess to understand. Long story short I had to get a solicitor in scotland to represent me as the cost of me going up there etc.. I got 7 points on my license and £600 fine plus £300 for the solicitor. They told me I was close to being banned!!! FFS
In simple terms - was I robbed? My Dualiner is a 6 seater Vito Sport, used for family and my trials bike. It's standard with windows all around, internal lighting etc. etc. - ie. a leisure dual purpose vehicle.
Any advice? It's done and dusted now, but I keep coming across posts that say they got the NIP withdrawn.
