On a freeway posted for 65 mph, with most other vehicles driving 70 mph or faster, you may legally drive:

• A. No faster than 60 mph.
• B. No faster than 63 mph.
• C. No faster than 65 mph.
• D. No faster than 70 mph.

Answer: (C)

Speed limits are the maximum you may drive on a road. When a freeway is posted at 65 mph, you can legally travel at or below that speed. The fact that most other drivers are going faster doesn’t change your limit—you’re responsible for obeying the posted limit and driving at a safe speed for conditions. So you may drive up to 65 mph. You can slow down further if conditions require, but you cannot legally exceed 65 mph, even if others are speeding.
