Question 4441

May a passenger car towing a trailer drive in a VAO lane?

  1. Yes, when it is carrying two or more occupants.
  2. Yes, as long as the maximum authorized mass (MMA) of the combination does not exceed 3,500 kg.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

A passenger car towing a trailer must not use an HOV lane, even if the trailer is light, the combination does not exceed 3,500 kg, or several people are aboard. The HOV lane allows motorcycles, passenger cars, and adaptable dual-purpose vehicles with the occupancy required for that section, but without a trailer. In the image, the passenger car towing a trailer is in the HOV lane, marked by a diamond on the road, so it is breaking the rule.
