Speed limits
What does Minnesota's Basic Speed Law require of drivers regarding posted speed limits?
- Driving at the posted limit is always legal no matter what
- Speed must be reasonable for conditions, even if that means driving below the posted limit
- Only commercial drivers must slow for conditions
Show answer and explanation
Speed must be reasonable for conditions, even if that means driving below the posted limit. The Basic Speed Law requires driving at a speed reasonable for existing conditions, so following the posted limit is not a defense if conditions call for slower driving.
