Legal Speed Limit?
-
08-04-2011 2:34pm#1With the summer season almost upon us, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me with certainty or links what the legal speed limit is for a vehicle towing a caravan? Since we last had ours out the new Safety Cameras (:rolleyes:) have been rolled out, and it seems that these new cameras are also catching articulated trucks going over 80km/h, and the latest is for someone to have been caught towing a trailer over 80km/h in a 100km/h zone.
I understand that on national N roads the limit is 80km/h, but having done some searching I've been left confused as to what the legal limit is on our motorways? Some sources say that a trailer with a DGVW over 750kg is subject to an 80km limit, others say a braked trailer where the train weight of towing vehicle + trailer is less than 3500kg is 100km/h limit.
Anyone know for certain? I'll be driving a Shogun, towing an 18ft caravan, so I'm probably in or around the 3500kg limit (plan on heading to a weigh bridge once the covers come off).
Just value my licence and don't want to be getting done for 90km/h on the motorway.
