What speed must you drive on a motorway?

Description

Art. 19 para. 2 pt. 1 in conjunction with art. 2 pt. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)

Explanation

Correct answer: A speed which does not cause an obstacle for other drivers, but not exceeding the maximum speed limit.

The driver of a vehicle is obliged to drive at a safe speed, i.e., one adapted to the prevailing conditions on the road, such as traffic volume, weather, or visibility. In accordance with Art. 19 para. 2 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, you must also drive at a speed that does not impede other drivers. The maximum speed of 140 km/h for a passenger car is a limit, not a required speed of travel.
