If the posted speed is not safe at that time
You can be ticketed for traveling at an unsafe speed regardless of the speed limit.
No. The posted speed limit of 55 miles an hour means you can drive a maximum of 55 miles an hour when it is safe to drive at that speed. Only an idiot would drive at that speed in fog and high wind.
You may drive as fast as the posted speed limit allows, provided it is safe to do so. Built up areas tend to have a 30mph speed limit with the occasional 40mph on main routes.
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.
I don't know the answer you'd get from an insurance agent, a police officer, a lawyer, or a judge. My experience has been: -- If you exceed the posted limit and keep up with traffic, you can be picked out of the crowd and ticketed for speeding, and there's nothing you can do about it. -- If you drive at the posted limit while everybody else passes you like you're in reverse, you can be picked out of the crowd and ticketed for obstructing traffic, and there's nothing you can do about it.
While towing a trailer on a highway with a 65 mph speed limit, you should adhere to that limit if it is safe to do so. Make sure your vehicle and trailer are properly equipped and balanced, and maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles. Drive at a speed that is comfortable and manageable given the conditions.
"The Basic Speed Law states that no one speed is best under all conditions. The posted speed limit is simply the maximum recommended speed allowed by law under ideal conditions. The Basic Speed Law implies you must never drive faster than it is safe for conditions at that time. This means that even if you drive within the posted speed limit, under certain conditions, such as in rain, snow, heavy traffic, or bad road conditions, the posted speed may be unsafe and you may be in violation of the law."
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.
Yes, just follow posted speed limits.
It is important to drive the safe speed limit that is posted. A speeding ticket in Florida will add points to a North Carolina license.
If you are unsure of the speed limit, it is safest to drive at a moderate speed that is reasonable and safe for the road conditions. Use your judgment and drive at a speed that allows you to react quickly to any unexpected situations.
