- A.Slow down to 20 mph below the posted speed limit
- B.Maintain your speed but honk as you pass
- C.Slow down by 5 mph only
- D.Stop completely in your lane
Correct answer
A. Slow down to 20 mph below the posted speed limit
Why
If you cannot move over one lane for a stopped emergency, sanitation, utility, or tow vehicle, Florida requires you to slow to 20 mph below the posted limit. This protects people working at the roadside.
