Question 7011
On this road outside a built-up area, a passenger car is traveling at 90 kilometers per hour. Is it traveling at an appropriate speed?
- No, it is too fast given the condition of the roadway.
- Yes, because there is no traffic.
- Yes, because it is the maximum permitted speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, it is too fast given the condition of the roadway.
No. For a passenger car, 90 km/h is the maximum on a conventional road (carretera convencional), and road conditions may require you to drive slower. In the image, the roadway is full of potholes, puddles, and loose gravel, and at 90 km/h you could lose control when you hit a pothole. That speed is too fast for the condition of the roadway, even if no one is coming.
