Question 2 • LEHS TX Health OC (SY26-27)

Maahir turns onto an unfamiliar road. He notes that there are several potholes. The posted speed limit is 25 mph.What should he do?

Answer
A
drive at 25 mph since it is the posted speed limit
B
drive as slowly as possible even if it is not necessary
C
drive slower than 25 mph to get down the road safely
D
drive faster than 25 mph to get down the road quickly

Explanation

A posted speed limit is the maximum for suitable conditions, not a speed drivers must maintain. Because potholes make the road hazardous, Maahir should slow below 25 mph so he has more time to see and avoid them and can keep control of the vehicle. Driving faster would increase the risk, while going as slowly as possible is not necessary if a safe, controlled speed is enough.
