True
true
A motorist is expected not to drive faster than the speed limit on the sign until the school has been passed.
False
No, you should not. Your speed should depend on the weather conditions, and you should only drive a speed that is safe according to current visibility and road conditions.
True
That is true. In California, if you drive 15 miles per hour less than the speed limit on the freeway, you may receive a citation.
In practice, It is acceptable to increase the speed of your vehicle over the legal speed limit to pass or overtake another vehicle. Legally, it is not permitted. If the other vehicle is already at the speed limit, you should not be passing it. If it were a police car you were passing, at any speed above the speed limit, they could stop you.
FALSE FALSE
False. Instantaneous speed is distance travelled divided by time, for a very short time interval. (Technically, you take the limit, when the time interval approaches zero.)
The Law:The speed limit is the speed LIMIT.Reality: It very often is not possible to pass safely with out exceeding the limit, the book says if you have to speed you should not pass.The fact that we often do exceed the limit to safely pass, and the Police look the other way (if it is by a minor amount, and the pass is made safely) is immaterial. They can ticket you for exceeding the posted limit at any time.
False. The fact that the speed of a vehicle is lower than the prescribed limits does not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection. It is still the driver's responsibility to adjust their speed and drive safely in accordance with the road conditions and traffic signals at the intersection.
It is false that a limit line marks the beginning of an intersection. A limit line would mark where you need to stop.
