May have to swing wide to complete the right turn. When a vehicle makes a turn, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle, the bigger the difference between the paths of the front and rear wheels. Therefore, long trucks often have to swing wide to complete a right turn.

Blue traffic signs offer information on: Motorist services. Construction and maintenance. Mileage information, such as distances to specific locations.

b. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. The "Basic Speed Law" states that you may never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. For example, if you drive at 45 mph in a 55 mph zone during a dense fog, even though you are below the posted limit, you may be cited for driving "too fast for conditions."

California's "Basic Speed Law" says you must: a. Keep your speed close to that of other traffic. b. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. c. Always drive at the posted speed limit.

If it feels like your tires have lost contact with the surface of the road, you should: Slow down by shifting into a lower gear. Ease your foot off the gas pedal. Slow down by pumping the brakes quickly and firmly.

If the road or weather conditions require a slower speed. California has a "Basic Speed Law," which means that you may never drive faster than would be safe in current conditions. Even if your speed is slower than the posted limit, you may still be cited if you are going too fast for conditions. When deciding how quickly to drive, drivers should take multiple factors into account, such as the speed of surrounding vehicles, the condition of the road surface, the presence of bicyclists and pedestrians, and weather conditions.

If you drive 55 mph in a 55 mph zone, you can be given a speeding ticket: Under no circumstances because it is always legal. If the road or weather conditions require a slower speed. Only if you are approaching a sharp curve in the road.
