According to the road legislation, the driver of the vehicle must drive at a maximum speed of 30 km/h in the urban areas and 50 km/h outside built-up areas when visibility is reduced below 100 m in conditions of fog, torrential rains or heavy snowfalls. Therefore, answer A is incorrect because the speed limits mentioned (50 km/h in the urban areas and 60 km/h outside built-up areas) exceed the limits imposed by the legislation.
Although the driver of the vehicle must respect the legal speed limit and adapt it according to the road conditions, this general requirement does not cancel the specific limits imposed in case of reduced visibility. Answer B is wrong because it does not clearly mention respecting the limits of 30 km/h in the urban areas and 50 km/h outside them. It is important to remember that the obligation to reduce speed to avoid any danger exists in all situations, not only in the atmospheric conditions mentioned in the question.
The road legislation provides that when driving in visibility conditions below 100 m, due to fog, torrential rains or heavy snowfalls, the driver of the vehicle must drive at a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban areas or 50 km/h outside built-up areas.
The correct answer is: C
Regulation** - Article 123
The driver of the vehicle is obliged to drive at a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban areas or 50 km/h outside built-up areas, in the following situations:
[...]
j) when visibility is below 100 m in conditions of fog, torrential rains, heavy snowfalls.
OUG* - Article 48
