Explanation
The posted speed limit is a maximum speed you are allowed to drive. It is not necessarily the safest speed in all conditions. Remember: the faster your speed, the less control you have of your vehicle. You may need to adjust your speed depending on the number and speed of other vehicles, road surface, presence of pedestrians or cyclists, and weather conditions. Therefore, even if you are driving within the posted speed limit, you can still be ticketed for driving too fast for conditions.
