Speed, Following Distance, Stopping and Parking
Speed limits
In settlements the general limit is 60 km/h; outside settlements it is 90 km/h; on motorways it is 110 km/h (130 km/h where signed). Towing a trailer lowers the limit to 70 km/h outside settlements. A driver must choose a speed that allows stopping within the visible distance, and must slow down in poor visibility, near crossings, and when passing children or animals. The 'insufficient visibility' threshold is 300 m.
Following distance and stopping
There is no fixed legal following distance; the rule is the two-second gap, doubled in rain or on ice. The stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance and the braking distance, so it grows with the square of speed. A driver must not stop within 5 m of a pedestrian crossing, within 50 m of a railway crossing, at a bus stop, or where a sign forbids it.
Parking rules
Parking is permitted parallel to the kerb on the right, or on the left on a one-way road. Parking on the pavement is allowed only where a sign permits it. A vehicle must not be parked where it blocks a crossing, a junction within 5 m, or a fire hydrant.
Traps in questions
Questions often test whether the limit changes when towing, or whether a lower sign limit overrides the general limit (it does). Another trap is the 'stopping' versus 'parking' distinction: a stop of up to 5 minutes for loading is stopping, not parking.
Rule of thumb
Double the two-second gap in bad weather; if you cannot stop within the distance you can see, you are too fast.
Worked example
A driver tows a trailer on a road outside a settlement with a general 90 km/h limit. The correct maximum is 70 km/h.
