Question

One evening you drive outside the built-up area near Apeldoorn on a winding country road with no speed sign; the limit here is 80 km/h. After a sharp bend you can see only about 30 metres of the road. You must then drive so slowly that you can stop within those 30 metres.

Accepted Answer

True — False — you think only the 80 km/h limit counts. On top of the limit you must always be able to stop within the distance you can see and that is clear. If you can see only 30 metres of road, you drive much slower than 80.
