Show answer

Correct answer

  • BLa inferior a 60 km/h.Below 60 km/h.
Explanation

On motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías), a speed below 60 km/h is considered abnormally low, and it is prohibited to drive like this without a justified reason (Article 49 of the General Traffic Regulations). If an emergency means you cannot keep to it, you must leave at the first exit.
