Or, an 80s pop group are driving behind it.

Or, might these vans have their own Twitter accounts?

ours all seem to be newer then three years now

its a 63 plated astra they park all over the place[/quote]

That used to be the case here; replacement every three years or 100k. Just isn't happening now though. There's a few newer cars around (mostly Peugeots) but lots of knackered old Focuses with 160k on them. Those are the 12 plate ones on a response shift. Quite impressive to be fair given they're used 24 hours a day and often thrashed relentlessly.. There's a few older ones too, generally the ones from community shifts or departments that don't cover the same miles as a response shift. There's apparently zero budget in my local area for new cars this year. Don't see how it's sustainable.

On numerous occasions when visiting supermarkets I've heard 'alarms' going off from these vans, similar to the funky HGV left turn chat, that recite something like this:

"This vehicle is under attack! Please call 999!"

Yeah, not sure genpub gives a single fuck if Tesco lose tree fiddy.

Fairly sure 99.9% of 'set-offs' involve the driver forgetting to unlock the door before pulling the handle or something similarly daft.

On a similar theme, I stopped behind a van with a sign with something like:

This van is limited to:
50 on a single carriageway
60 on a dual carriageway
70 on a motorway

then something about safety being a big deal to the company

It got me thinking.... have they now linked the limiters to GPS? Otherwise how does the limiter know what kind of road it's on?

Our work vans were also like this

GPS was also to show that drivers where not speeding or off skiving instead of working
