No, we don't. A van is a fully enclosed vehicle almost anywhere, never with a tray.

They rotate at a given airspeed, which doesn't change, they just have a head start getting there due to wind speed.

Once again, making claims with nothing to back it up.
Who? What laws? Has anyone been caught doing it?
