At a riding school near Limmen you hitch up a horse trailer (TMM 4,000 kg) and drive onto the A22. Two kilometres later you leave the autoweg and enter the built-up area of Uitgeest. What changes along the way?
- ✓ On the A22, 80 applies (trailer too heavy for 90); in the built-up area that becomes 50
- On the A22, 90 applies (autoweg figure, weight doesn't count here); in the built-up area that becomes 50
- On the A22, 90 applies (with a trailer on an autoweg that's the case); in the built-up area that stays 90
Correct answer: On the A22, 80 applies (trailer too heavy for 90); in the built-up area that becomes 50
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
- The 90 km/u only applies up to and including 3,500 kg TMM; at 4,000 kg you fall back to the ordinary autoweg figure without the trailer reduction
- The trailer weighs 4,000 kg > 3,500 kg, so 90 does not even apply on the A22; within the built-up area 50 always applies anyway, never 90
