Don't know if this is old news, but thought I'd share it to help some of you save a few quid...
Since I got my 110 pickup I have driven down to Bristol and back in it once, which involved going across the (old) Severn Bridge. I paid roughly £11 for the toll, which I was expecting to as a commercial vehicle.
Well tonight I had to drive down there again, and on the way back pulled up at the kiosk expecting to pay £11 again. However, the digital display thing showed class 1 (normal cars) with a price of £5.70. The young lady at the kiosk wasn't sure, and called her manager over. He said apparentley there was a law brought in in 1967, classing all "Jeeps" as cars and not commercial vehicles, including my 110 pickup
For a fiver saved, I let him get away with the "Jeep" comment :doh: He said to keep todays reciept in the truck, and if anyone tries to charge me as a commercial vehicle again ask to speak to their manager!
Hope this helps some people, especially those who drive on tolls regularly
cheers,
Joe
