Drive to the conditions!!! there is a novel statement..

I once got flamed on facebook for saying someone who crashed into a tree and died ( wasn't my fault) must have been going too fast for the conditions....

The argument was it was a 80 km/h zone and there could have been leaves on the ground blah blah....

as far as I am concerned if it's 80km/h and its tipping with rain doesn't make it right to do 80 on a narrow leaf covered road...

Then someone said a Roo may have jumped out...I said well if there was that chance drive a bit slower so you can stop in time.

When I was younger I mashed a car up badly on a corner at night in the fog..
Cops came and crawled around the same corner at 5mph.... they said to me were you going too fast? I said no...they said well we got round it..

I couldn't argue and I learnt alot.
