It is extremely foggy. Based on the Basic Speed Law, if you are driving 45 MPH in a 55 MPH speed, you could be cited for:
|
Driving below the posted Basic Speed Limit.
|
|
|
Driving “too fast for conditions.”
|
|
|
Driving too slow.

Explanation
California’s “Basic Speed Law” means that regardless of the posted speed limit, your speed should depend on the current road and weather conditions. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. For example, the posted speed limit on a slippery or fogged-in roadway might be 55 mph, but the safe speed to drive would be much lower.
