A car towing a caravan travels along four roads in this order: a motorway, a single carriageway with the national limit, a dual carriageway with the national limit and a 30 mph built-up street. On which road is its limit equal to the limit for the same car without a caravan?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. On the built-up street, where both are 30 mph

  1. Step 1: With a caravan the limits are 60 mph on a motorway, 50 mph on a single carriageway and 60 mph on a dual carriageway. Step 2. The same car without a caravan gets 70, 60 and 70 mph on those roads, so only the built-up limit of 30 mph is unchanged. Answer: On the built-up street, where both are 30 mph. Why not the others: On the other three roads the caravan limit is 10 mph below the car's limit.
