Questions Learners Have About Towing Trailers

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Towing Trailers, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

How does a trailer affect my vehicle's turning?

A trailer significantly increases your vehicle's overall length, requiring you to make wider turns than you normally would with just your car. The trailer will track further inwards than your car's rear wheels (off-tracking).

What are the speed limits for a car with a trailer in the Netherlands?

On autowegen and motorways in the Netherlands, a passenger car with a trailer may never drive faster than 90 km/h. On other roads, the general speed limits apply, unless a lower speed is indicated.

Can I use any lane on the motorway when towing a long trailer in the Netherlands?

If your car and trailer combination is longer than 7 metres on a three or more lane motorway, you are generally only permitted to use the two innermost right-hand lanes. You may temporarily use other lanes to pre-sort or change direction.

What is 'swing out' when driving with a trailer?

'Swing out' refers to the effect where the front of your car swings outwards when you make a sharp turn, especially noticeable with longer trailers. You must account for this to avoid hitting objects or other vehicles.

Is reversing with a trailer different from reversing a car?

Yes, reversing with a trailer requires different steering inputs. The trailer moves in the opposite direction to the steering wheel input at slow speeds, demanding careful observation and practice.

How do I know if my trailer is 'long' for Dutch road rules?

For motorway lane usage rules, a combination is considered 'long' if it exceeds 7 metres. This typically applies to most car and caravan/trailer combinations.
