How the exam asks it

About Towing a trailer or caravan: 90 km/u is never 'just always': which statement is correct?

  1. On an autoweg or motorway the 90 km/u applies to every trailer, regardless of the permitted maximum mass.
  2. With a trailer or caravan you may always drive at most 90 km/u, even on the motorway, regardless of the weight.
  3. The 90 km/u is explicitly tied to 'autowegen and autosnelwegen'.
  4. A brommobiel may drive faster within the built-up area than outside it, just like an ordinary car.
Show the answer

Correct answer: The 90 km/u is explicitly tied to 'autowegen and autosnelwegen'.

The 90 km/u is explicitly tied to 'autowegen and autosnelwegen'. On an ordinary road outside the built-up area (no autoweg sign) 80 km/u simply applies with a trailer

Why learners get this wrong: On an autoweg or motorway the 90 km/u applies to every trailer, regardless of the permitted maximum mass.

Open this question

With a trailer on an ordinary provincial road (not an autoweg) outside the built-up area, 90 km/u also applies.

Open this question

At a riding school near Limmen you hitch up a horse trailer with a permitted maximum mass of 4,000 kg. You drive onto the A22, an autoweg. What is your maximum speed?

  1. 80 km/u — the trailer is heavier than 3,500 kg, so the ordinary road-type figure applies
  2. 90 km/u — with a trailer on an autoweg it's always 90 anyway
  3. 130 km/u — a 130 autoweg sign applies to all vehicles driving on it
Show the answer

Correct answer: 80 km/u — the trailer is heavier than 3,500 kg, so the ordinary road-type figure applies

The 90 km/u only applies up to and including 3,500 kg permitted maximum mass; at 4,000 kg you fall back to the ordinary outside-built-up-area figure of 80

Why learners get this wrong: On an autoweg or motorway the 90 km/u applies to every trailer, regardless of the permitted maximum mass.

Open this question

Near Uitgeest you tow a light caravan (TMM 1,100 kg) behind your car on the A22, an autoweg. What is your maximum speed?

  1. 90 km/u
  2. 100 km/u — that is the ordinary sign figure for an autoweg
Show the answer

Correct answer: 90 km/u

Why learners get this wrong: With a trailer on an ordinary provincial road (not an autoweg) outside the built-up area, 90 km/u also applies.
