On a motorway or dual carriageway, below what limit is a car considered to be driving at an abnormally reduced speed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías), the general maximum speed for cars is 120 km/h. Regulations state that driving below 60 km/h is considered abnormally reduced speed. It is important to distinguish the cause: Without justification: It is prohibited and punishable, as it impedes traffic and creates danger. Due to emergency (breakdown, illness, etc.): If the vehicle cannot reach the required minimum speed (60 km/h) due to an emergency, the driver must drive as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway, switch on hazard warning lights, and leave the road at the very first exit. Therefore, 70 or 80 km/h are incorrect because the legal lower limit is 60 km/h.
