    Oh no, a van totally wiped the floor with your noddy car, oh God.
    Frankly, I’d be more concerned with your awful driving, hogging the outside lane for so long when the inside lane was completely clear, a bit like the numptys do down the Llan y Pwll!

    It’s not a van, it’s a minibus.

    Speed limits for minibuses(not towing a trailer) for A class roads (where a lower limit is not signposted ) is 50 mph. On a dual-carriageway the limit is 60 mph and 70 mph on motorways. When towing a trailer the limit on motorways is reduced to 60 m.p.h.

    – The Mini-Bus* (ty poster) jumped the red-right, the speed limit on that section of road is 50MPH.
    I Believe the mini buses was driving in excess of the speed limit

    – After the ” national speed limit ” sign the speed limit on that road is 70MPH, however according to the guy on this thread the limit for a minibus would be 60MPH.

    The speed limit for cars is 70 mph. The speed limit for vans, hgvs and minibusses is 60 mph there.

    The speed limit for ANYTHING from the roundabout untill the national sign is 50, hence the BIG 50 sign on the video, if you drive that section and look at the road signs they all say 50 and have done since the new junction was built.

    Why exactly are you bothered? How did the other vehicle affect you? Stop lane hogging and drive correctly in future.

    People pay a lot of money to be carried in a safe and legal taxi, clearly this is nither safe or legal, it’s yet again a wrexham taxi with no regard for the rules of the road. the speed limit is 50MPH, I would imagine this mini bus was close to double that, I care because it’s a local firm, my friends and family use local taxi’s and they are being ripped off by dangerous firms like Cresta Cabs who are clearly employing dangerous drivers. Add to this fact the wear to the tyres and brakes driving like that, I dread to think what condition that vehicle is in.

    [quote quote=116495]Well, to be fair, I work/run one of the other Taxi firms in town and joined up to have a dig at Cresta Cabs.
    I’m very disappointed it’s not at all going as planned however.[/quote]

    Well God bless your honesty!
