Correct answer

  • CSí, cuando la velocidad no se adapte a las circunstancias de la vía.Yes, when the speed is not suited to the road conditions.
Explanation

An appropriate speed is one suited to the changing conditions of the traffic, the road and the driver. So even when driving within the permitted limits, in certain circumstances we must slow down; for example, in fog the appropriate speed must be much lower than the maximum allowed.
