Motorway speed limit for van towing trailer
Hello,
I have a Vivaro Tour van and a trailer under 750kg which I shall be taking to Italy in a few weeks time.
Yesterday I found out to my cost that unlike the UK, vans have a lower speed limit than cars on motorways here in Spain, so I tried to establish the current speed limit when towing my new trailer and found various different answers.
Does anybody here know for certain the legal limit for a van towing a trailer under 750kg please?
Regards,
Peter
