Solution

The correct answer is A) Observe the Basic Speed Law in California. This law states that you should never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. Regardless of the posted speed limit, your speed should depend on:

  • The number and speed of other vehicles on the road.
  • Whether the road surface is smooth, rough, graveled, wet, slippery, or icy.
  • Whether you can see clearly ahead; fog, rain, or darkness may require you to drive slower.
  • Whether the road is straight or winding, wide or narrow, hilly or flat.
  • Whether pedestrians or bicyclists are on the road.
  • Whether there are hazards at intersections.

This law means that you can be cited for driving at an unsafe speed, even if that speed does not exceed the posted speed limit.
