Correct answer

  • CSí, una velocidad anormalmente baja puede provocar accidentes.Yes, an abnormally low speed can cause accidents.
Explanation

Driving at an abnormally low speed holds up others and leads to overtaking and rear-end collisions. That is why Article 49.1 of the General Traffic Regulations forbids driving at less than 60 km/h on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) and, on other roads, at less than half the general speed limit.
