Vehicle collisions are one of the leading causes of crash-related deaths in California and the United States. One of the common causes of road accidents is speeding. Under the Cal-Basic Speed Law, a driver must never travel faster than is safe for current conditions.

Regardless of the posted limit, a driver must base his speed on the number and speed of other vehicles on the road and whether the surface is smooth, rough, gravel, wet, dry, wide, or narrow. Also consider bicyclists or pedestrians on the road’s edge and the weather condition.
