DDifficulty 3/5

A bus towing a light trailer travels on a motorway outside a built-up area. All passengers are seated, the bus has seatbelts, and there is no school or minors’ transport, lower limit or other special regime. What is its general maximum, including while overtaking?

Correct answer

90 kilometres per hour.

90 km/h because it is a motor vehicle towing a trailer. Overtaking does not raise the limit. The ordinary 100 km/h maximum for a bus without a trailer does not apply to this combination. Observe any other lower limits and adapt speed to conditions; a maximum does not guarantee that travelling at it is safe.
