This is why cops patrol the main road in small towns.

Any person with a sense of their surroundings should be slowing down enough to be able to brake to a stop when a kid jumps out from behind the closest object to the road.

Big empty fields after harvest, middle of nowhere? 100mph buddy.

Crammed residential area on a coastal city? 25mph at most, if not 15mph.

But when it's raining, your maximum safe speed depends on several factors, mostly vehicle weight and tire shape and tread patterns and depth.

When it's snowing, you have predictably shitty traction and can see ice patches that you're about to hit. With good snow tires, it's safer than rainy roads.

Despite that, people still go 90mph on wet roads but can't go past 45 on snowy roads.

Ain't gonna lie, if it's 3am and there's nobody on the roads with a nice dense snow pack, I'm barreling down the highway at 90mph, because I know it's safe in my car, it's controllable.

But if the roads were wet, I can't even exceed 70mph because that's the point where I start hydroplaning. Traction control kicks in, even in 5th gear. The car starts fishtailing and I have to make constant adjustments to the steering wheel to prevent spinning out.

Anyone exceeding 70mph in heavy rain is actively trying to kill themselves and everyone around them. Full stop.
