Did some one hurt your feelings out in the rain or is this something you just came up with?

It really depends on the condition, traffic etc.
Drive the speed you are comfortable with. Can’t fix stupid.booley, TruckerChance, Trucker61016 and 7 others Thank this. -
Everyone has their own comfort and skill / experience level. Yours is not mine and mine is not yours.
But what's worse than someone driving too fast, is one that is driving too slowly. If you do not feel comfortable at 55 or greater, you probably need to get off the road. Because you now have become a moving hazard for everyone else.poppapump1332, tscottme, Lonesome and 26 others Thank this. -
