Winter Speeds when the weather is bad?

Posted speeds are for ideal conditions, on some freeways the Dept of Transport will have signs up informing people to reduce speed, bottom line is as a professional driver you need to slow down and drive to the conditions, during snow storms I usually slowed down to about 80 km per hour or about 45 mph depending on how well one could see ahead, if it becomes to bad than its not even worth driving and one is better off stopping.

 

HAHA yep, That is evident in this thread.

 

You asked a question and argue with every answer.
As far as the gut feeling it comes from experience and you can't teach that.
I don't do much driving in the mountains in the prairies what I would do was follow co-op trucks until I developed my own gut feeling for traveling out there.
Northern Ontario the best advice I have is have a close relationship with which ever God you pray to.

 

I believe the proper term for that is called "humor".

I know when I am pushing too hard, I'll get a knot between my shoulder blades. Having done this since the 80s, a lot has changed. It has always been that being able to control my vehicle is not a problem but trying to remain separated from others is the challenge; Moreso today than ever before. Also, reading road conditions has changed dramatically since the advent of mag chloride and salt brine versus the old days of just sand.

All this can only be learned with experience. There is no correct answer to your question, as the specifics of traffic volume, load, terrain, temperature, equipment configuration, mitigation efforts by road maintenance crews, and driver experience all weigh into it.

 

Everybody is different.I drive at a speed that " I " feel comfortable with .You can't put a number on it because every road condition is different.

 

99.9% of them super trucker asians shouldn’t be allowed to drive when the 1st snowflake hits the ground!
