You want to use an autobahn. To allow you to do so, what type-specific maximum speed must be entered in Part I of the registration certificate or in the operating licence?

In Germany, vehicles that are allowed to use the autobahn must have a type-specific maximum speed of more than 60 km/h. This rule ensures that only vehicles capable of maintaining higher speeds, appropriate for high-speed roads like the autobahn, are permitted. This maximum speed must be officially entered in Part I of the registration certificate or the operating license. Vehicles with a maximum speed of 60 km/h or less are typically restricted to slower roads and are not permitted on the autobahn for safety reasons. Understanding this helps you know that the vehicle's official documents must reflect its capability to travel safely and legally on high-speed highways.
