  2. No, it is prohibited.
  3. Yes, if it does not exceed 50% of the towing vehicle's unladen mass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, if it does not exceed 50% of the towing vehicle's unladen mass.

Yes. A motorcycle may tow a trailer or semitrailer if its loaded mass is no more than half the motorcycle's unladen mass. It may only do so during the day with nothing reducing visibility, traveling 10% below its general speed limit, and never with anyone in the trailer.
