Question

the speed limit posted on a road is 55 mph. when the road is wet:
drive 20 to 25 mph under the speed limit
maintain a 55 mph speed limit
drive 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit

Explanation:

When a road is wet, traction decreases, so drivers should reduce speed for safety. The recommended reduction is typically 5 - 10 mph below the speed limit (not as extreme as 20 - 25 mph, and maintaining the limit is unsafe). So the correct option is the one with "Drive 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit".

Answer:

C. Drive 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as per the order: A. Drive 20 to 25 mph under the speed limit, B. Maintain a 55 mph speed limit, C. Drive 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit)
