Question 4256

A vehicle is traveling at an abnormally low speed when...

  1. it is traveling slower than the other drivers.
  2. it is traveling below the minimum speed permitted on that road.
  3. it does not adapt to the conditions of the road.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: it is traveling below the minimum speed permitted on that road.

This means traveling below the minimum speed for your vehicle on that road, such as below 60 km/h on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), and it is prohibited without a justified reason. It is judged against the minimum speed. If you drive slower than everyone else but stay above that minimum, your speed is not abnormally low. A speed that does not suit the circumstances is called inappropriate for the conditions.
