What is the maximum permitted speed for a car towing a light trailer on a motorway or dual carriageway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Although a car without a trailer can drive up to 120 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways, the regulations change when a trailer is attached. For cars with trailers (regardless of whether the trailer is light or not, i.e., up to 750 kg or more), the speed limit is reduced to 90 km/h on these types of roads. The breakdown is as follows: 90 km/h: Correct limit for a car with a trailer on a motorway. 100 km/h: Limit for buses and adaptable mixed vehicles on a motorway. 80 km/h: This would be the limit for this same combination on a conventional road, or for trucks on a motorway.
