C1Difficulty 3/5

An N3 goods lorry of 18,000 kg MAM, first registered in 2025, can exceed 90 km/h by design and falls under none of the exemptions in Article 7 of Royal Decree 1417/2005. Must it have a speed limiter for public-road use?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes, set so that speed cannot exceed 90 km/h. Articles 4 and 5 cover this N3 case and registration date. Mass alone does not describe every case: Article 7 exempts, for example, certain emergency services, scientific tests, vehicles unable to exceed the limit by design or exclusively urban public-service vehicles. A limiter does not authorise 90 km/h where a lower road limit applies.
