How do the speed limits change when you are towing a trailer or caravan?
- They stay exactly the same as for a car
- Lower limits apply than for a car aloneCorrect
- They are higher because you have more weight
- There are no limits while towing
Why?
Rule 98 of The Highway Code reminds you that when towing you must be aware of reduced speed limits. Lower limits apply to a car with a trailer than to a car on its own, and your stopping distance is longer, so you must slow down.
