How fast you drive is determined by:

• A. The posted speed limit and the highway conditions
• B. The posted speed limit only
• C. Your personal preference
• D. The weather only

Answer: (A)

Speed you drive is determined by the posted speed limit and highway conditions. The limit shows the maximum legal speed, but you must adjust that speed for current road conditions such as wet or icy pavement, rain, fog, reduced visibility, construction, curves, and traffic. When conditions are good, you can travel near the limit, but you should always slow down enough to stay in control and have time to react. Personal preference or weather alone don’t set your speed; safety comes from combining the legal limit with the actual driving conditions.
