derf Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I have searched through "The Code de la Route" and can't find any restrictions for small private trailers.Have a look at this site and see for yourself.http://www.code-route.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 [quote]What are the speed limits for towing a trailer in France?[/quote]There are no different limits. ie., the same as the vehicle towing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I dont think so, normally towed vehicles are rated at about 10 mph lower, same as in the UK. Certainly on French motorways towed vehicles like caravans are lower and in fact on some strethces they have specific limits that are greater than the 10mph lower figure. (big sign showing car and caravan plus limit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about "small private trailers" here, where the limit is the same as the car. Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Yes you're right, thinking about it, isn't there some definition of max weight of a "small" trailer and over that it has to be independently braked too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
