I drive fast in wintery conditions that most people wouldn’t drive in. Just because conditions have you driving slow doesn’t mean that others with better tires and ability can’t handle the conditions at higher speeds.
Should F1 racers slow to 60 in the rain too?

F1 cars have huge wings and aerodynamics pushing them down, very special rain tires.
And they do red flag races in heavy rain.
The old "rule of thumb" for street cars is take the square root of the tire pressure, and multiply by 10. So 36 PIS tires, square root is 6, xa 10 is 60 MPH is the max safe speed.
He went by me going 75 or more. The speed limit is 75 but that is for dry conditions and clear visibility. He was driving too fast for conditions, and he paid the price.
