For a passenger car towing a trailer, what is the maximum generic speed permitted on a motorway or dual carriageway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 90 km/h. According to General Traffic Regulations, passenger cars and motorcycles have a general limit of 120 km/h on motorways. However, when coupling a trailer (whether light or heavy), the limit is mandatory reduced to 90 km/h. The options of 100 km/h (limit for buses and mixed vehicles) and 120 km/h (cars without trailers) are incorrect. This reduction is necessary because the trailer affects the stability, braking distance, and aerodynamics of the vehicle combination.
