  • A.Slow down to 20 mph below the posted speed limit
  • B.Maintain your speed but honk as you pass
  • C.Slow down by 5 mph only
  • D.Stop completely in your lane
Correct answer

A. Slow down to 20 mph below the posted speed limit

Why

If you cannot move over one lane for a stopped emergency, sanitation, utility, or tow vehicle, Florida requires you to slow to 20 mph below the posted limit. This protects people working at the roadside.
