Reply to comment by Maronita2020 in Just a slight flurry and everything goes red by questionname

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.
