C+EDifficulty 2/5

An N3 tractor unit, first registered new in 2005 and with no applicable exemption, tows a trailer in a combination with a maximum authorised mass of 22,000 kg. Must it have a speed limiter?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. The N3 tractor unit is required to have a limiter set so speed cannot exceed 90 km/h in the stated circumstances. The requirement is not confined to buses or articulated vehicles: it depends on category, application dates and possible exemptions. A limiter does not permit ignoring a lower road or combination speed limit.
