Just want to mention that the Redditors here may not be the best cross-section of safe drivers. I’m with you, OP. It’s best to slow down in the snow. People can go around (as they did) if they’re in a hurry.

All jokes aside, I'm going the speed limit if I feel like the road sucks.

I've also never had a line of traffic up my ass in those conditions either- I'd pull over if I did.

But OP is still being cringe so I'm here for that.

Yeah, I mean, I guess it’s a little cringey to tell other people how to drive, but the people here saying you have to go fast are doing the same thing.

I’ve lived here almost 50 years and I’ve totaled two cars due to driving too fast on sketchy winter roads and my neck is permanently jacked. I’m not interested in the insurance hike or the chance that I might hurt myself or someone else in another crash.

I personally drive as fast as I feel safe driving. Sometimes that’s the speed limit, sometimes it’s less, sometimes it’s more. If there’s a big line of cars behind me and no place for them to pass I will pull over, but I’m not going to put my own safety at risk because people have a hot foot either.
