This exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine tests knowledge of speed limits and passenger safety, particularly for children. In real traffic, the correct choice of maximum speed reduces the risk of accidents, since vehicles transporting organized groups of children are subject to stricter restrictions under the traffic rules than most other road users.

The question belongs to the section of the Traffic Rules on speed limits (paragraph 12.6 a) and teaches the application of a special rule for buses (minibuses) transporting organized groups of children outside populated areas. Even if the road is marked with sign 5.1 "Motorway" and higher limits are allowed for "other vehicles," a separate restriction applies to a minibus with children, which takes precedence as a special rule.

Explanation of the answer options in the context of the theoretical exam: 130 km/h and 110 km/h correspond to the general limits for other vehicles on a motorway and on a road with a dividing strip, but do not apply to a minibus with an organized group of children. 90 km/h is typical for buses (except minibuses) or for general conditions on other roads, but here the key word is "minibus" and the fact of transporting children. That is why the correct limit is 80 km/h, directly established by paragraph 12.6 a) of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine for such transportation outside populated areas, regardless of the road's status as a motorway.

Clause 12.6 a)

Outside populated areas on all roads and on roads passing through populated areas marked with sign 5.51 "Beginning of a populated area", it is allowed to drive at the following speeds: a) buses (minibuses) transporting organized groups of children, passenger cars with trailers, and motorcycles — no more than 80 km/h.

Brief application: since the minibus is transporting an organized group of children and the movement takes place outside a populated area, the maximum permitted speed for it is 80 km/h regardless of the fact that the road is designated as a motorway.

Clause 1.10 (term "Transportation of organized groups of children")

Transportation of organized groups of children — simultaneous transportation of ten or more children with a leader responsible for accompanying them during the trip (for a group of thirty or more children, an additional medical worker is appointed).

Clause 1.10 (term "Minibus")

Minibus — a single-deck bus with no more than seventeen seats, including the driver's seat.

Clause 1.10 (term "Motorway")

Motorway — a road that: • is specially built and intended for vehicle traffic, not intended for entry to or exit from adjacent territories; • has separate carriageways for each direction of travel, separated by a dividing strip; • does not intersect at the same level with other roads, railway and tram tracks, pedestrian and bicycle paths, animal crossing routes, has barriers on the roadsides and the dividing strip, and is also fenced with a mesh; • is marked with road sign 5.1 "Motorway".

Clause 33.5.1 — 33 "Road signs", 5 "Information and guidance signs", sign 5.1 "Motorway"

Sign 5.1 "Motorway" is used to designate roads where the relevant traffic regimes are established in accordance with section 27 of these Rules. The sign is installed at the beginning of the motorway.

Brief application: sign 5.1 indicates that the road is a motorway, but for a minibus transporting an organized group of children, the speed limit is determined by the special rule of clause 12.6 a).

That is, the correct answer is "80 km/h", given that according to the definition of the Traffic Rules, a minibus transporting an organized group of children outside populated areas is allowed to drive at a speed of no more than 80 km/h (clause 12.6 a).

The question refers to a white minibus transporting an organized group of children. This is important because for such transportation, the Traffic Rules establish a separate, stricter speed limit, regardless of the fact that the road may allow higher speeds for other vehicles.

The image shows a road marked with sign 5.1 "Motorway," which means this is a road with a special traffic regime and, as a rule, a higher general speed limit. The situation also takes place outside a populated area, so the speed norms for driving outside populated areas apply.

Next, you need to choose the correct rule from clause 12.6 a) of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine. This clause directly states that buses and minibuses transporting organized groups of children are allowed to travel at a speed of no more than 80 km/h. That is, even on a motorway where other vehicles may travel faster, a special limit of 80 km/h applies to a minibus with children.

Therefore, the correct answer is "80 km/h," because for a minibus transporting an organized group of children, clause 12.6 a) of the Traffic Rules sets a maximum speed of 80 km/h outside populated areas, including on motorways.
