What is the proper speed to maintain during poor weather conditions?

The proper response in poor weather conditions is to drive at a safe speed depending on conditions. This approach prioritizes safety and acknowledges that the posted speed limit may not be appropriate for those circumstances. Factors such as reduced visibility, wet or icy roads, and other environmental considerations can significantly affect vehicle handling and stopping distances. Therefore, it is essential for drivers to assess the situation and adjust their speeds accordingly, even if that means driving below the speed limit to ensure control and minimize the risk of accidents. In adverse conditions, the focus should always be on safe driving practices rather than adhering strictly to speed limits or matching the speed of other vehicles, which may not account for the hazards present.
