uhhh no, thats about the stupidest question i have ever heard; most of the time if you were going with the flow of traffic will get you a traffic citationin my jurisdiction cause you just pretty much admitted you were speeding. lol but uhh no dont do 130 mph.

well yes, you'd be considered "traffic" and the speed of the "traffice", only you, doing 130 would be considered the flow but thats stupid. you'd be jailed.

You all aren't getting the point. On the driving test that you take. They ask you..............

[hr]"what is the correct speed that you should travel when on the road?"

A) At the speed limit
B) Below the speed limit
C) With the flow of traffic[hr]
The answer to this question is C) With the flow of traffic

So if he is the only one on the road, then he IS the traffic. So whatever speed he travels will be the flow of traffic.


AK, if you rob a bank and someone is there or not it is still illegal. The law doesn't say that if you see someone rob a bank, that means it is okay for you to do the same.

ok fly...but i got this one WRONG! cuz thats the answer that i put, and i was marked wrong. they want the speed limit. cuz if hte flow of traffic is 30 (ie traffic jam), you cant go the speed limit if teh posted limit is 60.

I didn't miss one question on my driving test. I got the answer right. To this day, the driving test has been the only test that I have studied for and passed 100% I think........lol

Yep. Makes me feel a lot better when I'm doing 10 or 15 over when I see someone flying by me like that.

People would laugh at this question, but I think it can be considered seriously. What is the definition of flow of traffic? What if there's no car on the road? I'm going to have to say 130mph is still a bit high, but what determines fast or slow for a "flow" speed? And yes.. there is a question on the exam...

How fast are you suppose to drive
1. fast then speed limit
2. at speed limit
3. slower than speed limit
4. the flow of traffic

the answer is 4.
