Passing target: 80% (28/35)
The posted speed limit on a freeway is 65 mph. Most traffic in the center lane is moving at about 75 mph. What should you do?
A and B travel in the center of three freeway lanes, with the right lane open. The card states a posted 65 mph limit and center-lane traffic moving at about 75 mph; it does not select A’s speed or lane.
Correct answer: Stay at 65 mph or less and use the right lane, since you are slower than the flow.
Why
On a freeway, a steady speed and few lane changes lower your crash risk, and weaving past other cars seldom saves time. Try to keep pace with traffic, but never above the posted limit. The right lane is the place for drivers who travel slower than the flow, and it lets faster traffic pass you on the left.
