Question 3853

A vehicle is traveling at an inappropriate speed when...

  1. its speed is not adapted to traffic conditions or road conditions.
  2. its speed is adapted to road conditions but exceeds the established limits.
  3. it is traveling below the maximum speed and above the minimum speed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: its speed is not adapted to traffic conditions or road conditions.

Your speed is inappropriate for the conditions when it does not suit the traffic or the road, even if you are not exceeding the speed limit. In the image, the sign allows 120 km/h, but with snow on the roadway, that is too fast. Exceeding the limit, on the other hand, is speeding.
