About Towing a trailer or caravan: 90 km/u is never 'just always': which statement is correct?
- On an autoweg or motorway the 90 km/u applies to every trailer, regardless of the permitted maximum mass.
- With a trailer or caravan you may always drive at most 90 km/u, even on the motorway, regardless of the weight.
- ✓ The 90 km/u is explicitly tied to 'autowegen and autosnelwegen'.
- A brommobiel may drive faster within the built-up area than outside it, just like an ordinary car.
Correct answer: The 90 km/u is explicitly tied to 'autowegen and autosnelwegen'.
Explanation
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
- The text explicitly says 'but only if the permitted maximum mass of your trailer or caravan is no more than 3,500 kg'. With a heavier trailer the 90 km/u does not apply
- The 90 km/u applies ONLY on autowegen and motorways, and ONLY if the trailer's permitted maximum mass is no more than 3,500 kg. Within the built-up area it stays 50, outside it 80
- A brommobiel drives at a fixed maximum speed of 45 km/u both within and outside the built-up area; there is no built-up/outside-built-up difference as with a car
