I see a couple things INCORRECT with this posting.
1. Holding your foot over the brake does not imply you are depressing the pedal, yet the statement says correct result is “riding the brake” but if you are not depressing the pedal how are the brakes being ridden?
2. At what speed can hydroplaning occur? 29mph and 40mph are also correct. Of course you can hydroplane at other speeds!
3. I would have passed.

Your right Joe, 99% of the time its not the car causing the problem,its the driver who has’nt a clue how to handle an emergency.I drive above the posted speed limit on Freeways,& Interstates all the time. It’s the jerk driving in the fast lane at or below the speed limit thats the problem. EVER READ THE SIGNS THAT SAY SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP TO THE RIGHT!!!

Speed limits on most freeways are archaic. Today’s cars can handle higher speeds as long as slower drivers keep right. Minimum speed limits should be enforced, if your car can’t keep up get it off the freeway.

No, speeding does not make you a bad driver, it makes you an illegal driver.
I have, and will continue to lobby, for mobile, autonomous speed traps. It’s the only way to protect the law-abiding person who refuses to disobey the speed limit law. And, the only way to reduce traffic jams caused by arrogant “I can drive as fast as I like” drivers who then cause others to adjust to their sporadic speed changes.
“I always drive 6-8 mph over the limit,” says everyone these days. Not if the laws are enforced. Then, they might actually raise the limit to something more realistic.

Just because someone drives over the posted speed limit doesn’t make them a bad driver. If all the drivers are going 70 in a 55 zone, and you decide to go 55, then you’re really obstructing the flow of traffic.
