Practice question

When driving on a freeway, what is the minimum speed limit?

  1. 35 mph
  2. 50 mph
  3. 60 mph
  4. No minimum speed

Answer: D — No minimum speed

Driving on a freeway requires a driver to travel at higher speeds, typically 65 mph or more. Because of this, individuals who are not comfortable driving at high speeds are not recommended to use a freeway. Thus, there is no minimum speed limit on freeways as driving too slow can be just as dangerous as driving too fast. Options A, B, and C are all too low of speeds for freeway driving and could put other drivers at risk.
