Which conditions should dictate your speed when driving?
My dad once told me to determine my speed based on the flow of traffic. I understand what he meant, but my curiosity remains. How do you know how fast to drive?

Wow—it seems like your old man gives some solid advice. Still, there’s a lot more to determining speed than the flow of traffic. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place.
The conditions that should dictate your speed when driving include:
- The time of day
- The condition of the driver (sleep and awareness)
- Condition of the car
- Weather
- Region
- Road condition
Most importantly, exercise good judgment. To remain vigilant on the road, you should assess the conditions accordingly before turning the key and pressing the gas and reassess frequently as you drive.
