Why do people drive slower when it's cold?

I was out for a wine, movie rental & gas (for the friggin' snowblower) run early this morning & it reminded me of this phenomenon. Every time it gets really, really cold (bone chilling - not ooh, I need a sweater Cali cold), many drivers drive sub-speed limit. Sure, the car needs a little warm-up before you flog it, but this is on the highways too.

Do people think that their car will shatter if they go over a bump too fast when it's really cold?
