C1Difficulty 1/5

An ordinary lorry, without special transport or dangerous goods, travels on a paved conventional road. With no reason justifying travel below the minimum, below what speed would it breach the general minimum-speed rule?

Correct answer

40 km/h

40 km/h, half the 80 km/h general maximum for the lorry described on that road. 80 km/h is not the maximum for all vehicles on conventional roads. Shoulder width or paving does not change this lorry’s general maximum. Traffic, road or vehicle conditions and other permitted cases may require slower travel; the minimum does not require an unsafe speed.
