Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

European towing standards are ridiculous, manufacturers decide what their car can tow. It's one of the only places where the American standard, which requires testing the vehicles and passing actual tests, is much better and safer.
Trailer design is also different with European trailers having their wheels further forward, putting less weight on the hitch, this in turn makes the assembly less stable which is why the speed limit when towing will often be lower.
How fast are you allowed to tow?
Speed limits are the same, towing or not in North America.
