You are driving outside a built-up area on a road where 80 km/h is the standard limit. Before a bend there is a 60 km/h sign. After the bend there is dense fog and you can see the road only about 30 m ahead. How fast do you drive there?

So slowly that you can stop within the 30 m you can see

60 km/h, because that is what the sign here gives as the maximum

80 km/h, because a sign cannot lower the standard limit of 80 km/h

Explanation

False — a maximum is not a fixed driving speed. Alongside every maximum, this always applies: you must be able to stop within the distance you can see and that is clear. If you can see only 30 m, drive so slowly that you stop within those 30 m, even if that is far below 60 km/h.
