Correct answer
No, because it is an abnormally low speed.
No. Article 49 sets a 60 km/h minimum on motorways and dual carriageways, subject to justified traffic, vehicle or road circumstances that prevent maintaining it safely, and other specified exceptions. It does not require an unsafe speed in congestion, on ice or near another danger. If an emergency requires abnormally slow travel, article 38.2 requires leaving at the first exit.
