Is it OK to drive faster than the speed limit?
Emphasise that staff should never drive faster than road conditions safely allow, should obey speed limits at all times (including variable limits and temporary limits at roadworks) and that persistent failure to do so will be treated as a serious matter. Good progress on the road does not depend on driving as fast as you can.
What do you need to know about driving for work?

Why are higher speeds more likely to cause a crash?
Higher speeds also magnify other driver errors, such as close-following or driving when tired or distracted, thus multiplying the chances of causing a crash. Drivers who ‘speed’ crash more often than those who don’t. They are also more likely to commit other driving violations, such as red-light running and driving too close.
What’s the best way to know the speed limit?
1. Check your speedometer regularly, especially when leaving high speed roads 2. Know the limits – look for signs, especially at junctions 3.

Is it safe to drive 70 mph in snow?
If the road is just wet, then as far as the transfer case is concerned it is the same as driving on dry pavement. So, if there is snow on the surface of an interstate highway perhaps 70 mph isn’t a good idea. I have a 4X4 (’01 Toyota Sequoia) and I use 2wd Hi for highway speeds.
Can you go 70 mph with 4 wheel drive?
No four wheel drive on the planet will help you with that. Just slow down. “But is there a reason you’d want to go 70 in the snow??” That’s 20 MPH slower than 90 on dry pavement. You should NEVER drive a vehicle in part time 4wd at highway speeds, whether it’s dry pavement or slippery conditions.
