not piling on OP because I've made the same mistake, it's a speed LIMIT, and it's up to the driver to reduce speed in suboptimal conditions. You can be ticketed for driving too fast for conditions even going the speed limit.

My thoughts too. My car slid earlier that day on another street wet with fresh snow.

Now that think about it, even with ample distance, that could still allow for the opportunity of another car turning to squeeze between me and the car in front of me, diminishing the distance.

I don’t know what the right strategy is for the future 😞 (if I ever drive again). My entire back and neck hurts and I am so mortified I hit someone (who’s probably hurting more).
