Correct answer
No.
A car towing a trailer may not exceed the maximum permitted speed for overtaking under any circumstances. The Traffic Regulations establish specific speed limits for different types of vehicles and situations, and these limits must always be respected to ensure road safety. Although in some circumstances vehicles may have scope to exceed the speed limit slightly when overtaking, this exception does not apply to cars towing trailers. Trailers add extra weight and alter the vehicle's driving dynamics, which may increase the risk of accidents if driven at excessive speeds, especially during overtaking.
