Question 1540 in the bank

“Reasonable speed” is a speed:

  1. Correct answer: That is adjusted to the road conditions and circumstances and does not exceed the speed limit.
  2. The speed limit on that road, under all circumstances.
  3. That the vehicle passengers wish to drive at. The passengers are always right.
  4. That is adjusted to the conditions and circumstances, and always exceeds speed limit.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: That is adjusted to the road conditions and circumstances and does not exceed the speed limit.

A reasonable speed must meet two conditions at once: it suits the road, weather, visibility, traffic and vehicle conditions, and it never goes above the speed limit. The limit is a ceiling, not a target, so in poor conditions you must drive slower than it. Good conditions never justify exceeding the limit, and passengers' wishes are not a factor.
