Which code addresses traveling unreasonably fast?

• A. 14-218
• B. 14-248b
• C. 14-289f infraction
• D. 14-147 all summons

Answer: (A)

Driving at an unreasonable speed means judging speed by the actual conditions on the road, not just by a posted limit. The code that addresses traveling unreasonably fast defines this offense and sets the penalties for the risk it creates. It’s the best choice because it targets the behavior of driving too fast for the situation—rain, fog, curves, heavy traffic, or poor visibility—even if you’re under the posted limit. In other words, you can be cited for unsafe speed and receive penalties based on how your speed endangers others, not merely for exceeding a numeric limit. The other options relate to different offenses or administrative actions and don’t specifically cover driving at an unsafe or unreasonable speed.
