What endorsement is required in a registration card for a tractor constituting a part of trackless train to be considered roadworthy?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. On structural speed limit of 25 km/h.
Explanation
The illustration shows a blue agricultural tractor against the background of a vehicle registration certificate. An agricultural tractor that forms part of a tourist road train may be allowed on the road after an endorsement is entered in the vehicle registration certificate about limiting its design speed to 25 km/h - answer A.
A tourist road train (kolejka turystyczna) is a vehicle combination made up of an agricultural tractor whose design limits its speed to 25 km/h, or a slow-moving vehicle, and a trailer or trailers adapted for carrying people. The Road Traffic Act provides that an agricultural tractor in such a combination may be allowed on the road after the appropriate endorsement is entered in the vehicle registration certificate, precisely about limiting its design speed to 25 km/h. An additional hydraulic brake (answer B) and a permit to carry people for tourist purposes (answer C) are not the subject of this endorsement. The speed limit makes sense - passengers in the trailers of the road train usually have no seat belts, and they are carried only in seats.
Legal basis: Art. 2 point 49a, Art. 71 para. 4a and Art. 63 para. 3 point 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
