I don’t care what the speed limits say. If you can’t stop safely within the distance you can see ahead on the road, you’re driving too fast. Is this a difficult concept?
if you aren't breaking the law, you are not driving too fast...
now there's a thing called driving too fast for conditions like fog/rain/snow/ice but that was never mentioned
now either the state speed limit is right or it's wrong... like you said, it's a simple concept, so which is it???
