In Austrian vehicle safety and driving technique, what are the statutory speed limits when driving a car fitted with studded (spiked) tyres in Austria?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 80 km/h on open country roads and 100 km/h on motorways

  1. Step 1: Vehicles with spiked tyres are legally restricted to a maximum speed of 80 km/h on Freilandstraßen and 100 km/h on Autobahnen. Answer: 80 km/h on open country roads and 100 km/h on motorways. Why not the others: 60 km/h on country roads and 80 km/h on motorways, 50 km/h on country roads and 90 km/h on motorways and 100 km/h on country roads and 130 km/h on motorways do not reflect Austrian technical safety guidelines.
