Your right, but slowing down can kill too if all the other drivers are not slowing down.

Let us add predictable and consistent speed to this

Agreed. Luckily most of the drivers seem to be slowing down, at least on the route I was on

Don't know why people downvoted my post. Are they all new to MA and don't know this?

Speaking for myself, I downvoted your comment because, in the context of this post, it's terrible advice. If you're in a snowstorm (or any kind of storm) and the road conditions have deteriorated, you slow down. Period.

If the rest of traffic are still going at 70-80mph, that does not mean that slowing down was a bad idea. It means that you should get off that road as soon as you can. You do not tell people who are driving slowly in a snowstorm that _they_ might cause an accident because some other morons are still driving like it's the Indianapolis Speedway.

I agree that they should slow down. I in no way was advocating for not slowing down. I was simply pointing out it can go both ways.

I didn't say this situation. I simply said going slow CAN also cause accidents.
