What is the maximum speed you should drive compared to surrounding vehicles on the highway?

Higher than the surrounding vehicles
Less than or equal to the speed limit
Significantly slower than surrounding vehicles
Equal to surrounding vehicles, when possible

The correct answer is: Equal to surrounding vehicles, when possible

When driving on the highway, it's important to maintain a speed that is equal to the surrounding vehicles, when possible. This practice enhances overall traffic flow and reduces the chance of collisions. When vehicles travel at similar speeds, it creates a more predictable environment for all drivers, allowing them to anticipate the movements of other vehicles. Driving at a speed consistent with surrounding traffic helps to minimize dangerous situations that can arise from sudden lane changes or abrupt braking. While it's crucial to obey the posted speed limits, maintaining a speed similar to that of other vehicles is an important aspect of highway safety. It's also worth noting that driving significantly slower than surrounding vehicles can create obstacles for those trying to navigate the roadway, increasing the risk of accidents and causing frustration among other drivers. Adhering to this principle ensures a smoother, safer driving experience for everyone on the highway.
