You know if you are going fast relative to other drivers without a speedometer.
You know about how fast you are going without a speedometer. 40 or 60 or 80 feel different to drive.
Don’t just rely on a number to drive. Ask yourself, can I see well up ahead? Would I have time to stop if someone pulled out from a blind spot? Are there pedestrians or children I should be mindful of?

The safe driving speed isn’t a single number. It will drop in certain conditions and people need to be able to read the road to drive safely.
They also need to know their speed to drive safely.

Pay attention to the road.
Never said it was the only important thing.
