You want to use an autobahn. To allow you to do so, what type-specific maximum speed must be entered in Part I of the registration certificate or in the operating licence?

In Germany, to use the autobahn legally, a vehicle must have a specific maximum speed capability documented in its registration certificate or operating license. This requirement ensures that a vehicle can safely merge into fast-moving traffic and maintain adequate speeds to avoid accidents. The threshold of more than 60 km/h is vital because vehicles that cannot achieve this speed may not be suitable for the high-speed environment of the autobahn, thus ensuring safety for all road users. Vehicles that fall below this speed limit are often restricted to other types of roads where lower speeds are acceptable. Understanding these regulations helps ensure compliance and promotes safer driving practices.
