BDifficulty 2/5

You drive a passenger car without a trailer on a motorway where the applicable limit is 120 km/h, with no lower restriction. Can 100 km/h be an appropriate speed?

Correct answer

Yes, provided that traffic and road conditions allow it.

Yes, if conditions permit that speed and you can stop within your field of vision for an obstacle. The 120 km/h maximum is neither a recommended nor a compulsory speed. At 100 km/h you are below that maximum and above the general 60 km/h minimum. With poor visibility, low grip or other hazards, even 100 may be excessive. Merely not obstructing traffic is insufficient: adapt speed to all relevant conditions under article 45.
