towing laws victoria

Ah, towing laws in Victoria—because nothing says fun like navigating a legal minefield while hauling your boat or caravan. In Victoria, the key points are:

• Maximum towing speed is generally 100 km/h on freeways, but always check local signage.
• Weight limits: The trailer's Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) must not exceed the towing vehicle's capacity.
• You must ensure your trailer is properly registered, roadworthy, and equipped with correct lighting and brakes if over 750 kg.
• Secure your load to prevent anything flying off and causing carnage.
