One or two trailers


P

Recommended Posts

Was in France last week and, on one of the Autoroutes overtook a car towing a caravan and, attached to the caravan was a trailer. French plates were fitted.

 

Now, I am aware that two trailers can be towed subject to the driver having a Showmans licence.

 

Is it legal for an ordinary driver in France to tow two trailers – not that I want to.

If you hold an (E)C licence you can drive a "train double" - tractor unit plus articulated semi-trailer plus second drawbar trailer.  A "train routier" (essentially a train double with extra trailer(s)) can be driven on a special permit. I can't imagine a private car driver would go to the trouble to obtain this special permit.
