Speed
Day 3 is about speed. Today you practise 10 speed-only questions: generic limits by road type, adequate speed and speeding penalties. Review each mistake's explanation before repeating the session. Tomorrow you move on to alcohol and drugs.
Speed revision: identify what you are being asked
Speed questions can ask about a generic limit, adequate speed or a penalty for speeding. Keep those ideas separate as you work through this session. Pay attention to the road type mentioned: urban roads, expressways and motorways are all part of this topic. The explanation after each answer is your chance to check which concept the question was testing.
Before starting another set, decide which part needs another look. Was the uncertainty about the road category, the speed concept or the penalty? Review the matching explanation, then use the speed test below for further practice. Alcohol and drugs comes next in the sequence, leaving this session as your focused opportunity to revisit speed questions.
Before you begin or try again
- Read the explanation for every missed answer and check which part of your reasoning needs another look before moving on.
- Take your time over the wording and the answer choices; give yourself room to understand the question before answering.
- Only repeat the session after reviewing your mistakes, returning to the explanations whenever a point still feels unclear to you.

What the syllabus says about speed
The traffic rules lesson sets the general urban limits at 20, 30 or 50 km/h depending on how the carriageway is laid out, unless a sign says otherwise. As a current study rule, cars generally have a maximum of 90 km/h on conventional roads, and a road may be signed up to 100 km/h only where the required physical separation exists. Always read the sign and the road type.
What is asked most is not the bare number. The lesson stresses that driving within the limit can still be wrong if you do not adapt to rain, traffic, visibility or grip, and that near schools, crossings or stops the right speed is the one that lets you stop without a jolt. Safe following distance is not a single figure either: it grows with rain, dense traffic, load or a slope.
The traps the lesson lists for this topic are specific: thinking that you are always driving correctly as long as you stay under the limit, and applying an urban limit without checking the street layout or a different sign. If you miss a speed question, check which of the two you made.
