Show answer

Correct answer

  • BMenos de 45 km/h.Below 45 km/h.
Explanation

Except on motorways and dual carriageways, the minimum is half the general speed limit for each type of vehicle on that road (Article 49.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). For a car on a conventional road, where the limit is 90 km/h, driving below 45 km/h is an abnormally low speed.
