You are driving a combination vehicle. This consists of a motor vehicle with up to 3.5 t maximum authorised mass and a trailer without a 100 km/h approval. What is the maximum speed you can travel on the motorway?

In Germany, traffic regulations specify that motor vehicles towing trailers without a 100 km/h approval are limited to a maximum speed of 80 km/h on motorways. This rule is in place to ensure safety and stability while driving combination vehicles, as the additional weight and dynamics of towing can affect handling and braking distances. The 80 km/h limit allows for a better control of the vehicle combination, reducing the risk of accidents. It's essential to adhere to this speed limit to comply with traffic laws and maintain road safety.
