QUESTION 18 OF 30

What is the safest speed, on our main highways?

"Most of the highways in this area are 70mph. I do not speed, and I always obey traffic laws. It's important that I provide my passengers with a safe ride, every time. For example, many times in the winter months, I do not even reach top highway speed. I use my discretion based on road conditions."

The interviewer would like to know that you always obey the posted speed limits and that you do not come up with an excuse to speed on the highway, even when it's clear. Be sure to express the fact that the speed limit should never be broken, no matter the circumstance. You might also want to point out that, despite the speed limit being a specific rate, it is not always to safe to drive that fast.

"I believe that most highways in this region have a posted speed limit of 70mph. Although that's the posted speed, it doesn't mean that is always the safest speed to go. Road conditions, construction, and congestion are all factors to keep in mind when I am driving on the highway. With that said, under no circumstances is it right for me to drive over the posted limits."
