It is legal to drive faster than the speed limit on the freeway?
The speed limit is the top speed that is legally allowed. If it is exceeded, you are breaking the law.
Which car has the right of way when a vehicle makes a left turn to enter a parking lot?
In Washington State... You will notice that all freeway on ramps have a posted speed limit lower than the freeeway speed limit. When merging onto a freeway, the merger does not have the right of way and must yield to faster oncomming traffic. Now, it's different if you are driving on a road with two lanes where both lanes flow traffic in the same direction. If a two lane highway merges down to one lane the person in the merging lane has the right of way if their vehicle is ahead of you where the two lanes form one. This reply is confusing. The merger (or accelleration) lane is intended for vehicles to get up to the speed of traffic. Although you do have to yield when you enter traffic, you should be able to slip into traffic if you are up to speed. One of the most common reasons people have to stop driving on the freeway is because they can't comfortably speed up to the posted speed limit and still find a gap to enter traffic. The same is true with exiting the freeway. Enter the exit ramp at highway speeds and slow down after you are on the deceleration ramp. Freeways are intended to run smoothly and that is why you should use the ramps to gain speed and to slow down.

What is the maximum fine for a first time reckless driving ticket?
I think it depends on what state you live in. I don't know where you are from but in the state I live in, you'd be LUCKY to just get a ticket and a fine, because the police CAN and WILL take you to jail for driving that many mph over the posted limit.
How much faster should you be traveling than the vehicle you are passing?
You can only travel within the posted speed limits and the overtaking procedure must be attempted only if you believe it can be done safely.
When you are driving on a freeway posted for 65 mph and most of the other vehicles are driving 70 mph or faster you may legally drive?
65. If the legally posted limit is 65 the limit is 65. Just because other drivers are going 70 only means they are breaking the law. There is no law that says you can go 10 mph above the posted limit before a ticket can be issued. You can get a ticket for going 1 mph faster than the posted limit. Most policy will not issue a citation for a small amount but legally they can.

Can you legally drive above the posted speed limit in California?
Yes, but that won't make you immune to getting pulled over. California's Vehicle Code contains a section called the "Basic Speeding Law." Basically, the law says that you cannot go faster than what is reasonably practical given the conditions you are driving in. The speed limit signs that are posted are speeds that the State defines to be the maximum reasonably safe speed. Going over those speeds is usually illegal. However, the law in California says that if you can provide evidence that, given the conditions you were driving in at the time, the speed you were traveling was reasonable or prudent, then you may not have broken the law, even if you were driving above the posted speed limit. For instance, if you were ticketed for driving 5 miles per hour over the speed limit, but you were able to provide competent evidence that your speed at that time was reasonable or prudent for the conditions you were driving in, your charges could be dropped. It is important to remember that when you do go over the posted speed limit, it will be up to you (not the officer) to provide evidence that your speed was reasonable or prudent for the conditions you were driving in. In theory, you can technically drive 95 mph on the freeway in the middle of the night, but only if you can provide evidence that those conditions were reasonable or prudent (good luck in court on that one).
You may be cited for driving at the posted speed limit?
