Translation
semi-trailer tractor unit
A motor vehicle mainly designed and built for towing semi-trailers; in any event a vehicle with body type BC counts as one (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). Together with the semi-trailer it forms a combination. Running solo it remains a heavy commercial vehicle: it has large blind spots and a long braking distance, even with nothing behind it.
How it sounds in the exam
Een opleggertrekker rijdt zonder oplegger. Vormt hij dan een samenstel?
A tractor unit is driving without a semi-trailer. Is it then a combination?
