Goods vehicles - including large vans - grossing at from 3.5 to 7.5 tonne and first registered between 1 October 2001 and December 31 2004 will now have to be retro-fitted with speed limiters that will restrict them to 56mph. The new law came into effect on 1 January.
From 1 January 2008 the law will also apply to all vehicles first registered after 1 January 2005 and only used in Britain. Vehicles used in Europe and registered after 1 January 2005 are already affected.
