Under Nevada's Basic Speed Rule, at what speed are you legally required to drive?
The answer
Answer: C. Nevada's Basic Speed Rule requires motorists to drive at a reasonable and proper speed, taking into account traffic amount and type, weather conditions, visibility, road surface condition, and roadway width. Depending on adverse conditions, a safe speed may be considerably less than the posted limit. During adverse conditions such as heavy rainfall, ice, or blowing sand, traveling at the posted speed limit can be considered reckless and unlawful driving.
