Show answer

Correct answer

  • CCuando sea menor de 45 km/h.When it is below 45 km/h.
Explanation

Driving below the minimum permitted speed means driving at an abnormally low speed. On conventional roads, where the maximum speed is 90 km/h, the minimum is 45 km/h, half the maximum, so any speed below 45 km/h is considered abnormally low. Minimum speeds must be respected just like maximum speeds, even if there is no specific sign. The minimum on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) is 60 km/h, while on other roads it is half the maximum.
