I have received an email today from the boss saying I can drive a Vauxhall
Combo at 70mph on a NSL dual carraigeway as it is a car derived van. (And 60
in
a NSL SC etc).
This was the result of a NIP issued to a Combo driver (69 on a NSL DC) in
Warwickshire but apparently Warwickshire Policing have now verbally
confirmed that the Combo is a car derived van and the higher limits apply.

I feel stupid asking but what the hell is the car that the Combo is derived
from?

Needs to have a GVW <2t, too. If it's one of the high-payload versions,
you might want to check that.

I'm really surprised. Corsa it is then. Makes me wonder how much of the
original car has to go into making the van for it to be a car derived van.

Thanks
