I know that sooner or later my total disregard for the 60mph limit on dual carriageway when I'm driving my van will get me in trouble but my satnav makes me do it because it says the limit is 70mph.

One of my vans is restricted to 63mph. Its a pain because it accelerates really quick (for a van) then the acceleration just stops dead.

Speed limit for above 7.5tonnes went up to 50mph carriageway and 60mph dual carriageway on the A9 in January for trials along with average cameras going live, most wagons are around 53mph on cruise control, i follow them in the van but pass restricted ones on dual carriageway.
