Thank you for all the replies. It would be good if everyone agreed.
My car combo (train) capable weight is 4250kg. So although my train weight will be about 3200kg? I will need stickers? If I need stickers do I have to have three? 110/100/80 ? Motorway/ Dual cariageway/ single road. I will only be doing max 60mph (about 97kpm) on motorways.
Fred.
Yes your outfit would be restricted to the lower towing speed limits. These are 90 kph on motorways & Dual Carriage ways and 80 kph on all other roads (unless a lower speed limit is posted or you are with in a towns boundary signs.
As I said earlier Speed Stickers are NOT required on UK Trailers (Including HGV), but if you feel you must fit them then its the 90 & 80 that you should fit. Remember these Stickers are Illegal in certain other countries.
Here is a reply 'Bejay' got from the French Authorities about Speed Stickers.
En réponse à votre courrier relatif aux disques de vitesse qui doivent être apposés sur les poids-lourds et caravanes britanniques, circulant en France (article R.413-13 du code de la route français), je peux vous apporter les éléments de réponse suivants :
La Convention de Vienne du 8 novembre 1968 traite de la circulation internationale. Le principe est qu'un véhicule en circulation internationale doit être conforme aux règles appliquées dans son pays d'immatriculation. Dans la pratique nous voyons les Poids-lourds étrangers circuler en France avec leurs propres disques de vitesse . Les Poids-lourds français à l'étranger ne changent pas de disques de vitesse à la frontière pour s'adapter au pays traversé. En revanche, dans tous les cas, il convient de respecter la règle de vitesse maximale qui s'applique sur la route où on circule.
En espérant avoir répondu à votre question et bien cordialement,

For anyone who's French isn't good:
In response to your letter concerning the speed stickers that must be placed on HGV's, heavier vehicles and caravans from the UK, travelling in France (Article R.413-13 of the French highway code), I can give the following answers:
The Vienna Convention of 8 November 1968 deals with international traffic. The principle is that a vehicle travelling internationally should be in accordance with the rules which apply in their country of registration. In practice we see heavier-weight foreign vehicles travelling in France with their own speed stickers. The heavy-weight French vehicles abroad do not change speed stickers at the border crossing to those which might apply in that country. In all cases, though, vehicles should stick to the speed limits that apply on the roads where they are travelling.
We hope that answers your question and cordially,
The office of legislation and regulation Delegation to the security and road traffic Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and the Sea
