Question 2110
Why is it important not to exceed the general speed limit of 50 km/h on urban roads?
- Because as speed increases, the severity of injuries in a crash also increases.
- Because at speeds of 50 km/h or more, the probability that a collision with a pedestrian will be fatal increases by 90%.
- Because exceeding it does not allow you to react in time, since driving on urban roads is more complex.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because as speed increases, the severity of injuries in a crash also increases.
The higher the speed, the harder the impact and the more serious the injuries. On urban roads, the limit is 20, 30, or 50 km/h depending on the type of street.
