Vans are huge nowadays! I saw a new Transit in an empty car park today, parked across 4 spaces and almost filling them. It's ridiculous that you can still drive them on a basic license. Apart from the fact that most of the white van men don;t seem to give a ****, they don't seem able to drive the things safely. Whenever I…

well on a normal license you can drive anything up to 3 and a half tonnes iirc.

The transit seemed to be losing a lot of customers to Fiats bigger Ducato, hence the larger transit we have now.
