Wat is die spoedgrens vir ‘n paneelwa op nasionale paaie?

Vraag:

Ek wil graag uitvind wat is die maksimum spoed vir n paneelwa met n GVM>3500kg met dubbel wiele op die as op ons nasionale paaie sowel as op ‘n deurpad?

Antwoord:

Die gewone spoedgrense is van toepassing. Voertuie wat ‘n GVM van 9000 kg en meer het mag nie vinniger as 80 km/h ry nie maar dit is nie op sulke klein voertuie van toepassing nie. Reg 293 van die Padverkeersregulaies verwys.
