Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

Mopeds are not allowed on motorways (autopistas) or dual carriageways (autovías), including the hard shoulder, because their maximum speed of 45 km/h is far below that of the rest of the traffic. The speed at which they are travelling at any given moment makes no difference.
