Explanation
California's Basic Speed Law states that your speed should vary based on weather conditions. In rain or snow, when roads are more slippery, you should drive slowly and remain well below the maximum speed limit. If there is no specific speed limit sign for poor weather conditions, you should drive at a speed you consider safe.
