What is the meaning of the term “driving at a reasonable speed”?

1. Driving at a speed that allows the driver to perform other actions, which are not essential to driving.
2. Driving in a similar speed to that of the other drivers around you.
3. Correct answer: Taking account of road and traffic conditions, in a manner that the driver maintains absolute control of the vehicle and can stop safely at all times.
4. When the driving speed is determined at the driver’s own discretion, and provided that it doesn’t exceed the statutory speed limit.

WhyA reasonable speed is one at which, given the road and the traffic, you are in full control at any moment and can always stop safely. It is not simply not above the limit or the same as everyone else.
