What speed reduction relative to the generic limit must motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles, or bicycles apply when towing a trailer?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations in Spain stipulate that when motorcycles, three-wheeled vehicles, mopeds, cycles, and bicycles tow a trailer or semi-trailer, they must reduce their speed by 10% relative to the generic speed limits established for these vehicles outside built-up areas. This measure aims to ensure the safety and stability of the combination, as towing a load modifies the vehicle's dynamic behavior. Also, remember that towing with these vehicles is restricted: only during daylight, without carrying people in the trailer, and if the trailer's mass does not exceed 50% of the towing vehicle's mass.
