Explanation:

Question 1

The Basic Speed Law requires drivers to travel at a speed that is safe for the current road, weather, and traffic conditions. The Minimum Speed Law is about not driving too slow, the Maximum Speed Law is about a set top speed, and the Flow of Traffic Law relates to matching traffic speed (but not about safety based on conditions). So the correct answer is A.

In rain, roads are slippery, so slowing down (A) is safe. Decreasing following distance (B) is dangerous. Sudden stops (C) are unsafe. Driving in the tracks of the vehicle ahead (not avoiding) can be helpful for traction, so D is wrong. Thus, A is correct.

When being tailgated, you should increase the space cushion in front to have more reaction time, not decrease it. So the statement is false (B).

Answer:

A. Basic speed law
