Drive at a speed that is based on the current road conditions.

The posted speed is a legal maximum under ideal conditions, but the safest speed may be lower when visibility, road surface, traffic, weather, curves, or other hazards make stopping or maneuvering more difficult. Driving slower just to be late or driving much slower than traffic can be unsafe as well. Always adjust speed to match conditions while obeying the law.
