You'd be surprised how many different things appear on the v5. I have on my 4 landrovers: "2 Axle Rigid Body 4x4 Light Utility" (88" SWB) "109 4-cyl Light 4x4 Utilitty" (109" IIa) "109 6-cyl Light 4x4 Utility" (109" 2.6 III) and "2 axle rigid body Van" (101 FC Ambulance)

It seems to be pretty flexible

A quick question Alex, do you get charged "van" rates at tolls (Severn Bridge, QE2 bridge, etc) in the 101?

When the new Severn Bridge was opened I got into quite an qrguement over how much we should pay for 101's to use the bridge. The operators insisted it was a van - they wanted to charge LGV rates at first - whilst I argued it was Land Rover and should therefore be charged the same as our 90 and 110's. They won :-(

For the ambulances we argued that they were emergency vehicles and should be exempt from the tolls. I was gob-smacked to discover that the local ambulance services have to pay to use the bridge! This may have changed since.

I believe if you use a motorbike to cross it now, its free.

I think van is defined by either:

Vehicle with no auxilliary passenger seating and an enclosed cargo space (Discovery Vans, all CDVs)

or

Vehicle over 35CWT laden weight whos primary purpose is not the carrying of passengers

This would seem to be the only way the definitions fit. I suspect that the

I've used the Severn bridge using three different configurations:

Transit Van towing 2 tonne machine trailer Mitsubishi pickup towing machine trailer Fully laden Range Rover towing fully laden 2.6 tone horse trailer

Having paid commercial rates on the first two I was fully prepared to cough up the same for the Range Ruster as the all up weight, trailer weight and total length of the combination was greater than the first two - nope, car rate - big smile from the Scotsman here and off we went

we want to make it easier for the Saes (think Sassenach) to leave...

seriously, there used to be 2-way tolls, but that requires more people and creates more congestion. Making it 1-way, they can use all the lanes except

mind you, if you're me, you go out over the bridge and back through Gloucester :-)

I don't think it's value for money charging anything to enter wales.....
