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.
"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.
Certainly. One needs to know how fast or slow they are driving and obey the posted speed limits. Just because the sign says the speed limit is 55 does not mean that you must drive at that speed. There are times when conditions like rain or snow on the roadway will not safely permit travel at the posted limit. Remember, driving is a privilege not a right.
If your on public roads you can drive at any speed up to the speed limit for the road your on provided it is safe to do so. In the UK the fastest speed limit is 70 mph on most motorways and duel carriageway's.
No traffic, the posted speed limit. Non-posted 2-lane highways are default 55mph. In traffic, only as fast as safe, no tailgating
