Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Be patient and do not exceed the speed limit so as to arrive safely.

You should always drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely within the distance you can see to be clear. Being late for an appointment is no excuse for exceeding speed limits or for driving at an unsafe speed. Arrive alive.
