I got a ticket today in Alabama and it says reasonable and prudent speed,what does that mean? He didn't explain himself, help me out plz
Bascially yes. I think the other verbiage used sometimes is 'too fast for conditions'pj_rage said:Just to translate and clarify, does this mean, basically, that he was within the "speed limit" of the road, but he didn't slow down enough when coming up on a hill, or into a turn, or to an intersection, or when it was raining, or snowing, etc? I didn't realize that this was ticketable, as long as you were within the speed limit.
kschaper said:I was thinking about this the other day. Do they ticket if they think you are going to fast or if you lose control in some way? The reason I ask is some cars are more capable in different conditions. Say it is snowing and I have my truck in 4wd, I could go fast than someone with a rwd car.

I've got a good set of snow tires and can drive more confidently than other drivers on the road. This means I can go faster, stop faster and corner better, usually by a wide margin, than someone with an all-season tire.
