BDifficulty 2/5

A motorcycle legally tows a trailer outside built-up areas, by day and with good visibility. What reduction applies to the motorcycle’s general maximum speeds?

Correct answer

A reduction of 10%.

They are reduced by 10% under Article 12.3. The trailer must not exceed 50% of the towing vehicle’s unladen mass, may not carry people and must meet other technical conditions. A 1,000 kg trailer cannot simply be assumed lawful without checking these conditions. Urban travel is subject to the corresponding local rules and applicable limits; 50 km/h is not universal on every urban road.
