About the California Speed & Following Distance test
California's basic speed law is the idea most drivers miss on this topic: you can never legally drive faster than is safe for current conditions, even when you are under the posted limit. If it is raining, foggy, or the road is packed, the safe speed drops below the sign. Most freeways top out at 65 mph, business and residential districts and school zones with children present are 25 mph, and it slows to 15 mph in alleys and within 100 feet of a blind railroad crossing.
The other half of this topic is space. California teaches the 3-second following rule, and you add more seconds in rain or on slick roads. The classic mistakes are treating the posted number as always legal and riding too close to the car ahead. Practice free with no signup and get comfortable judging speed and gap the way the DMV expects.
Every question traces back to the California Driver's Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
