LTO Speed Limits and Distance Control 2

Question 1

What does a posted speed limit sign indicate?

Accepted Answer

The maximum legal speed allowed under normal conditions

Answer

A speed limit sign indicates the maximum legal speed permitted under normal driving conditions on that road.

Question 2

Under which condition should a driver reduce speed below the posted limit?

Accepted Answer

When road conditions are wet or slippery

Answer

Wet or slippery roads reduce traction and increase stopping distance, requiring speed reduction even below the posted limit.

Question 3

How does carrying a heavy load affect a vehicle's stopping distance?

Accepted Answer

It increases stopping distance

Answer

A heavier vehicle has greater momentum and requires more force to stop, which increases overall stopping distance at the same speed.

Question 4

What is the safe following distance on a dry road at normal driving speed?

Accepted Answer

3 seconds behind the vehicle ahead

Answer

The three-second rule is the minimum safe following distance under normal dry conditions, giving enough time to react and stop.

Question 5
