Question 5

Driving below the speed limit

Answer 5

You can drive at any speed below the limit. There’s no minimum speed.

But when you are driving below the speed limit, you should try not to hold up other traffic.

If vehicles are queueing up behind you, you should keep as close as you can to the left side of the road. As soon as it’s safe, you should pull over to let following vehicles pass.

Question 6

Going from one speed zone to another

Answer 6

The speed limit changes as soon as you get to the signpost – not before or after.

When you’re moving into a lower speed zone, you must slow down before you pass the sign.
If you’re moving into a higher speed zone, you must not speed up till you’ve passed the speed sign.
