Question 5361

This combination of vehicles towing a trailer with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 700 kg — what is the maximum speed it is allowed to travel on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía)?

  1. 100 km/h.
  2. 90 km/h.
  3. 80 km/h.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 90 km/h.

Even though the trailer has a maximum authorized mass of only 700 kg, the combination is a motor vehicle (automóvil) towing a trailer. On a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) outside built-up areas, it must not exceed 90 km/h, or 80 on a conventional road (carretera convencional).
