Question 1475 in the bank

What is the legal definition of a "-trailer"?

  1. A motorized trailer with a frontal part that rests on a towing vehicle.
  2. A motor vehicle that is designed to be towed by another vehicle.
  3. Correct answer: A trailer that has its front part resting on the support surface behind a cab.
  4. A trailer that has its rear part supported by a cab.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: A trailer that has its front part resting on the support surface behind a cab.

A semi-trailer is a trailer without its own engine whose front part rests on the support surface behind the cab of the towing vehicle. Part of its weight is therefore carried by that vehicle. It is not a motor vehicle or a motorized trailer, and it is the front part that rests on the towing vehicle, not the rear.
