 Justin's change in behavior, where he now believes in obeying speed limits and traffic rules because it is in everybody's best interests, corresponds with the "Conventional" level, specifically the "stage of good interpersonal relationships" of Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning. At this stage, individuals conform to the expectations of their society and laws. They make moral decisions based on the desire to maintain relationships and the social order. Justin's reasoning has shifted from self-interest to considering the welfare of others, which fits into the second level of Kohlberg's theory.
