Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
The posted speed limit on a highway is 65 mph. Heavy rain is falling, and you can see only a short distance ahead. Which statement about your speed is correct?
Correct answer: You must drive slower than 65 mph if that speed is not safe in the rain and poor visibility.
Why
Posted limits are set for good conditions. In rain, reduce your speed to match the road surface; slowing down is also the way to prevent hydroplaning, when the tires ride on a film of water. You may need to turn off cruise control and increase your following distance.
