Cobra Trailer Tow Chain Attach Points

Of course, another point of interest is that the speed limit when towing a trailer in Germany is 80 km/hr (50 mph) (even on the autobahn), unless you meet more stringent specifications in which case the car and trailer must have 100 km/hr (60 mph) decals affixed and then 100 km/hr is allowed.

As well as the slower towing speeds than the 70-80 mph most people seem to fly along at in North America, the Europeans are also towing with much smaller cars than the typical Yukon, F-150 that most use here.

Having a trailer chained to your Ford Focus could get rather exciting if the ball attachment comes loose at 60 mph!
