If you maintain proper speed

- you are going at the speed limit or slower depending on conditions you’re riding in. ✓
- you can see without goggles.
- All of the above
Answer: B. you are going at the speed limit or slower depending on conditions you’re riding in.
Maintaining proper speed means you ride at the speed limit or slower, depending on the conditions you're riding in.
Why this is the answer
The handbook treats the posted speed limit as the maximum for ideal conditions, and says you should aim for a speed that suits the conditions you are actually riding in. When roads are slippery, visibility is limited, or a warning sign points to danger ahead, you should choose a slower speed. It also describes good speed control as keeping a steady speed that is appropriate for the riding conditions. That is exactly what riding at the limit or below, as conditions allow, looks like.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. you are going at a steady slow speed. — The handbook says the safest speed is not always the slowest, and warns that riding much slower than surrounding traffic can frustrate drivers behind you into passing unsafely.
- C. you can see without goggles. — Being able to see without goggles has nothing to do with speed control, and the passages do not mention goggles at all.
- D. All of the above — This cannot be right because the steady slow speed idea and the goggles idea are both wrong, so not all of the listed statements hold.
Remember it
Think of the posted limit as a ceiling for perfect weather, not a target you must reach — drop below it when the road or visibility tells you to.
