Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations stipulate that it is prohibited to drive at an abnormally low speed without justified cause so as not to hinder the normal progress of other users. As a general rule, on motorways and dual carriageways the minimum permitted speed for any motor vehicle is 60 km/h. However, on the rest of the roads (such as conventional roads), the minimum limit is set at half of the general maximum speed assigned to each specific type of vehicle. For a truck of more than 3,500 kg maximum authorized mass (MAM) on a conventional road, the general maximum speed is 80 km/h, so its mandatory minimum speed will be 40 km/h (half of its general maximum). The options showing 50 km/h or 60 km/h are incorrect because 60 km/h corresponds only to the minimum on motorways and dual carriageways, and 50 km/h does not match the applicable legal formula.
