This practice set is designed to help you master the Dutch traffic regulations regarding speed limits and braking when towing a trailer. Understanding these rules is vital for the official CBR driving theory exam. You'll practice scenarios related to reduced speed limits on motorways and autowegen, the increased braking distance due to extra weight, and the overall risks associated with driving a vehicle combination.

In the Netherlands, a passenger car towing a trailer or caravan may drive a maximum of 90 km/h on motorways (snelwegen) and autowegen, even if the general speed limit for cars is higher. On other roads, the general speed limit applies, but always adjust your speed to ensure safety.
Towing a trailer significantly increases your vehicle's total mass, which directly leads to a longer braking distance. The extra weight requires more force and time to bring the entire combination to a stop, even if the trailer has its own braking system. Always allow for greater following distances.
Yes, if your car-trailer combination is longer than seven metres, you may not use a lane other than the two lanes on the far right on motorways (snelwegen) in the Netherlands. This rule helps maintain traffic flow and safety for longer vehicles.
A poorly loaded trailer can lead to several serious risks, including instability, swaying (snaking), reduced steering control, and increased braking distance. Incorrect weight distribution, especially too much weight at the rear or unsecured load, can make the combination extremely dangerous and difficult to control.
No, not all trailers have their own braking system. Unbraked trailers typically have a maximum authorised mass of up to 750 kg and must not be heavier than half the car's unladen weight. Braked trailers, especially heavier ones, use an 'overrun brake' system that activates when the towing vehicle brakes.
By completing Trailer Speed & Braking, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in the Netherlands. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
