DDifficulty 3/5

Is a bus that, by construction, cannot exceed a speed of 100 km/h required to have a speed limiter fitted?

Correct answer

No.

No. Article 7 of Royal Decree 1417/2005 exempts a vehicle that cannot, by construction, exceed the speed specified for its category; for M2 and M3 buses this is 100 km/h. This does not permit travelling at 100 in every situation: road limits and other applicable lower limits must be obeyed. The urban-use exemption requires use solely for public service in urban areas; merely using a bus in urban areas is insufficient. Other exemptions have their own conditions.
