Car permit · Speed
On a freeway with a 65 mph limit, most traffic around you is moving at 70 mph or more. How fast may you legally go?
Correct answer: Up to 65 mph and no faster.
Answer options
- A70 mph or more, to match the flow of traffic
- BUp to 65 mph and no faster Correct
- CAny speed from 65 to 70 mph
Why
The posted limit is the highest speed the law allows, no matter how fast other drivers choose to go. Keeping pace with speeding traffic is no excuse, and you can still be ticketed for going over 65 mph.
