You are driving on a freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 MPH. Traffic is moving at 70 MPH. You may legally drive:
|
Between 65 mph and 70 mph.
|
|
|
70 mph or faster to drive with the flow of traffic.
|
|
|
No faster than 65 mph.
|
|
|
None of the above.
|
Explanation
You should match the flow of traffic but never exceed the posted maximum speed limit. For example, if you are on a freeway with a speed limit of 65 mph, it is illegal to drive faster, even if traffic is light or other vehicles are traveling at higher speeds. If you are driving slower than the surrounding traffic, stay in the right lane to ensure smooth traffic flow and safety.
