On a road reserved for motor vehicles, what is considered an abnormally reduced speed for a car?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To determine the correct answer, we must apply the general rule regarding minimum speeds. An abnormally reduced speed is considered to be anything lower than half of the generic maximum speed of the road. Maximum Speed: On a road reserved for motor vehicles, the generic maximum speed for a car is 90 km/h (the same as on a conventional road). Calculation: Half of 90 km/h is 45 km/h. Therefore, any speed less than 45 km/h is considered abnormally reduced and is prohibited unless there is a justified cause (such as breakdown, heavy traffic, or bad weather). It is a common mistake to confuse this with 60 km/h, which is the minimum limit exclusive to motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías).
