Step 3 » GENERAL learning environment Category B (B, B1)

The driver of the car in the image is driving on a national European (E) road. The maximum speed allowed on this category of road for the drivers of motor vehicles in category B is 100 km/h. However, in the image we observe that the motor vehicle has attached the distinctive sign for the drivers of motor vehicles who have less than one year since obtaining the driving license, and the maximum speed allowed for them is 20 km/h lower than the maximum speed allowed for the category to which the driven motor vehicles belong.

Therefore, from the maximum allowed speed of 100 km/h we subtract the 20 km/h and we have a difference of 80 km/h. Thus, the maximum speed allowed for the driver of the car in the image is 80 km/h.

The correct answer is: A
