BDifficulty 3/5

Besides obeying speed limits, what characterises an appropriate speed?

Correct answer

Adapting it to driver, vehicle and surrounding conditions.

It suits the driver, vehicle, road, traffic and environmental conditions, allowing control and stopping for obstacles within the field of vision under Article 45. Being below the maximum is insufficient when conditions require a lower speed. This does not guarantee coping with every imaginable unexpected event, and driving very slowly is not always appropriate.
