Comment on YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICE

Studded tires and going slower than the posted speed limit, which normally is the expected speed and you shouldn’t go more than 10% slower than it. Those are two rights that come to mind when dealing with ice.
Oh wait ICE means something else in the US. Yeah, good luck guys.

What asshole says you shouldn’t go 10% slower than the speed limit.

You can if it’s slippery or when there’s a corner. Not on a straight dry road with good visibility. That’s just pointlessly dangerous

There arr very few roads with minimum speed limits. If you’re driving the exact same as the speed limit, you’re the one that’s endangering everyone on the road.
You should always expect a bicycle around every turn that’s going 5 mph.

If someone’s going >10% over the speed limit, that means other people have to pass them, which is a dangerous maneuver. If they’re going the speed limit, only selfish people will pass them.
Police are literally allowed stop you for going 50-60 on a 90 km/h road here in the middle of the summer. It’s suspicious and a completely valid reason to check if you’re drunk.
But
I literally said that corners (tight ones anyway) and poor visibility (which corners can cause) in general are valid excuses, in addition to the aforementioned ice. “I was scared of doing 90” is not. I think you’re lacking a little bit of reading comprehension. Must be the famously excellent American school system.
