Explanation
When driving, your speed should depend primarily on the weather and road conditions rather than just the posted speed limit. This doesn’t mean you can exceed the speed limit, but it does mean that in poor weather conditions like rain or fog, you should drive slower than the posted limit. Wet or slippery surfaces increase the risk of skidding, and limited visibility may require extra caution.
