Correct answer

  • BSí. La velocidad debe adaptarse a las condiciones de la vía, por ejemplo, la lluvia, la nieve o el hielo.Yes. Your speed must be adapted to road conditions, for example rain, snow or ice.
Explanation

Article 45 of the General Traffic Regulations requires you to respect the limits and also to adapt your speed to the condition of the road, the weather and the traffic. In rain, snow or ice grip is reduced, and driving at the maximum limit may be an inappropriate speed.
