If you can't see 400ft ahead, it is not safe to be driving at what speed?

  1. 30mph

  2. 40mph

  3. 50mph

  4. 60mph

The correct answer is: 50mph

If you cannot see 400 feet ahead, it is not safe to be driving at 50 mph. This is because driving at higher speeds when visibility is limited can significantly increase the risk of accidents. Slowing down allows the driver more time to react to any unexpected obstacles or hazards that may come into view. It is crucial to adjust your speed according to the visibility conditions to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. In this scenario, options A, B, and D are higher speeds than 50 mph and would not be safe choices given the reduced visibility. Driving at higher speeds in such conditions can lead to tragedy as it reduces the driver's ability to come to a timely stop in case of an emergency.
