Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. 100 km/h if it meets the additional technical conditions stipulated by the legislation.
Explanation
The question is about the highest speed limit for a bus on a motorway. It is 100 km/h if the bus meets the additional technical conditions set out in the rules - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act states that the speed limit for a bus that meets additional technical conditions on a motorway and an expressway is 100 km/h, and an ordinary bus may drive there at no more than 80 km/h. Answer B is wrong, because it states that 80 km/h applies to every bus - it leaves out buses that meet the additional conditions. Answer C invents a limit of 70 km/h for a bus with a trailer - on a motorway a vehicle combination with a bus has a limit of 80 km/h. Meeting the additional conditions is confirmed by an additional technical inspection, and the bus has a speed limiter set to 100 km/h.
