You are towing a caravan with your car. You first drive through a village, then along an ordinary provincial road and then on an autoweg. What applies to your speed? (multiple answers possible)
- On the autoweg you may drive 90 km/h, even with a caravan heavier than 3,500 kg
- On the provincial road without an autoweg sign you may also drive 90 km/h with the caravan
- ✓ In the village you drive at most 50 km/h with the caravan
- ✓ On the autoweg you may drive 90 km/h if the caravan's permitted maximum mass is at most 3,500 kg
Correct answer: In the village you drive at most 50 km/h with the caravan; On the autoweg you may drive 90 km/h if the caravan's permitted maximum mass is at most 3,500 kg
Explanation
False — You carry the 90 km/h over to the wrong type of road. With a caravan or trailer you drive at most 80 km/h on an ordinary road outside the built-up area; the 90 km/h belongs only to the autoweg and motorway
Why learners get this wrong
- You forget the weight limit. The 90 km/h on an autoweg and motorway only applies if the permitted maximum mass of the caravan or trailer is not more than 3,500 kg
- You carry the 90 km/h over to the wrong type of road. With a caravan or trailer you drive at most 80 km/h on an ordinary road outside the built-up area; the 90 km/h belongs only to the autoweg and motorway
