Can a motorcycle tow a trailer carrying people during daytime hours?

Correct answer

No, it may not tow trailers that carry people.

No. Article 12.3.c prohibits carrying people in the towed vehicle in this case. To tow goods outside built-up areas, the trailer must not exceed 50% of the motorcycle’s unladen mass, travel must be by day with adequate visibility and applicable generic speeds must be reduced by 10%. Urban use is subject to the relevant municipal ordinance. Daylight or a trailer lighter than the motorcycle does not authorise passengers.
