BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, may a motorcycle tow a trailer or semi-trailer if its technical configuration permits it?

Correct answer

Yes, if the 50% limit and other statutory conditions are met.

Yes, subject to article 12.3: the trailer must not exceed 50% of the towing vehicle’s unladen mass; travel must be during daylight without reduced-visibility conditions; article 48 general speeds are reduced by 10%; and no passengers may be carried in the trailer. Also obey technical limits and signs. Urban travel is governed by the relevant municipal ordinances, so this answer cannot simply be extrapolated to every municipality.
