California DMV Driver’s License Renewal Practice Exam

Driving at a speed that fits the flow of traffic is key to safety and smooth road use. You shouldn’t assume you must always drive slower than everyone else; doing so can block lanes, surprise other drivers, and raise the risk of crashes. The safer approach is to adjust your speed to road and weather conditions and to match the surrounding traffic when it’s safe to do so. If you’re going slower than others, stay in the right lane and let faster vehicles pass when it’s safe, and only move left to pass when it’s appropriate. Weather or school zones can require adjustments, but the overall rule is not to impede traffic by driving unnecessarily slow.
