  • Acircula a una velocidad inferior a la mínima permitida en esa vía.it is travelling below the minimum speed allowed on that road.
Explanation

An abnormally low speed is one below the road's minimum: 60 km/h on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) and, on other roads, half the general limit for each type of vehicle, even if there are no other vehicles on the road (Article 49.1 of the General Traffic Regulations).
