Default speed limit for towed trucks for passengers?

I am working on this wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Def … eed_limits

and for that, I am trying to understand Lithuanian traffic law. In KELIŲ EISMO TAISYKLĖS - XV. Važiavimo greitis, there is this paragraph:

mokykliniais autobusais, krovininiais automobiliais vežant žmones, velkant motorines transporto priemones – ne didesniu kaip 70 km/h greičiu (velkant lanksčia vilktimi – ne didesniu kaip 50 km/h greičiu).

Google translate does a very bad job at translating Lithuanian. Can you tell me what kind of vehicle type is meant with this paragraph? Best with picture(s).

Possibly related, a similar question about Italian legislation: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=62903

I discovered that the linked law text ist old and has been replaced with https://www.e-tar.lt/portal/en/legalAct … BuFOotlZhK , which has a completely different wording.

. velkant motorines transporto priemones – ne didesniu kaip 70 km/h greičiu (velkant lanksčia vilktimi – ne didesniu kaip 50 km/h greičiu);

Still same question though. Or is this about towing another vehicle? Or is this for trailers?

Re: Default speed limit for towed trucks for passengers?

It is about towing another vehicle:

Towing motor vehicles - at speeds of not more than 70 km/h (towing by a flexible tow (e. g., cable, rope) - at speeds not exceeding 50 km/h);

This part is about cars (<3.5t) towing trailers:

131.5. lengvaisiais automobiliais ir krovininiais automobiliais, kurių didžiausioji leidžiamoji masė ne didesnė kaip 3,5 t su priekabomis, automagistralėse, greitkeliuose ir keliuose su asfalto ar betono danga – ne didesniu kaip 90 km/h greičiu, kituose keliuose – ne didesniu kaip 70 km/h greičiu;

motorway, motorroad, other roads (asphalt, concrete) – 90 km/h; other roads – 70 km/h.
