How fast you drive is determined by

How fast you drive is determined by

• A. Both a and b are correct (posted speed limit and highway conditions)
• B. The weather only.
• C. The color of your vehicle.
• D. Your mood.

Answer: (A)

Speed is guided by two things: the posted speed limit and the current road conditions. You must not exceed the limit, but you also need to adjust for factors that affect safety, such as traffic, curves, road surface, visibility, and especially weather. Weather changes road conditions, so you should slow down in rain, fog, snow, or construction even if the limit allows a higher speed. The vehicle’s color or your mood don’t determine safe speed. In short, drive at or below the limit and tailor your speed to the road and weather conditions.
