Premiums

Van Insurance premiums may drop over the long term if van limiters are to have significant impact


You may or may not be aware but speed limiters for vans are on their way. By January 2007 vans of 2.5 to 3.7 tonnes must be limited to 56 mph. This regulation will also effect vans currently on the UK roads i.e. those registered between 1 October 2001 and 31 December 2004 will need to have the speed limiters retrospectively fitted.

However, the main change will come from January 2008 when the regulation gets applied to all vans registered after 1 January 2005. And when we mean all vans we mean all vans that want to access UK roads. This is an EU directive thus imposed throughout Europe.
