MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SPEEDS:
Driving too fast or too slowly may create a dangerous situation. Regardless of the posted speed limit, weather and traffic conditions may make it necessary to drive more slowly. However, driving too slowly also can be dangerous. Your speed should be adjusted for the conditions and match the flow of traffic, as long as it does not surpass the maximum posted speed.
STOPPING:
The ability to stop your car safely should be considered when deciding your speed. Consider the following:
- How quickly you can react physically and mentally.
- The type and condition of the roadway. It will be more difficult and take longer to stop on wet asphalt.
- The kind of tires you are using and the condition of the tread. Large, wide tires with good tread will stop a vehicle faster than small, narrow tires with little tread.
- The type, condition and adjustment of your brakes.
