AMDifficulty 2/5

When a driver does not adapt their speed to the circumstances, they are considered to be travelling:

Correct answer

At a speed inappropriate for those conditions.

At an inappropriate speed: it is not adapted to visibility, grip, traffic and other circumstances. Speed can be inappropriate without exceeding the posted limit. Exceeding the limit and travelling too fast for conditions are not identical concepts; observing the limit alone does not ensure a prudent speed.
