Which statements are correct? Texas's Basic Speed Law says that you must never drive faster than is safe for the conditions, no matter what the speed limit sign may say; No matter what the speed limit sign may say, your speed should depend on the amount of rain, fog, snow, ice, wind, or dust; A only; B only; A and B; Neither.

• A. A only
• B. B only
• C. A and B
• D. Neither

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that you must drive at a speed that is safe for the current conditions, not simply follow the posted limit. Texas’s Basic Speed Law means you should never exceed a speed that is safe for rain, fog, snow, ice, wind, dust, or other conditions, even if the speed limit says you can go faster. That same idea is reflected in the statement that, regardless of the posted limit, your speed should depend on those weather and road conditions. Both statements express the same rule from different angles: speed must be adjusted to conditions and not based solely on the limit. Because both statements are true, the option that describes both is the correct choice.
