No, because the digital vignette is linked to the vehicle license plate number. If you are an owner who uses an interchangeable licence plate, you buy a digital vignette for this and can use all motorways and expressways with up to three vehicles.
Passenger car with trailer or caravan:
If the towing vehicle (car) does not have more than 3.5 t, the passenger car vignette is sufficient. The weight of the trailer is irrelevant in this case.
Motorcycle with sidecar:
A sidecar counts as a trailer and therefore does not require a vignette. The vignette for the motorcycle is sufficient.
