Reply to LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34

If however it is foggy, do the opposite. Drivers as a collective often take the speed limit as a suggestion at the best of times and are really bad at slowing down to appropriate speeds for the visibility.

I'd rather be crawling through a tiny village at 5MPH knowing that there are only a couple of cars around than at 50MPH without being able to see my stopping distance because I'm near guaranteed to be rear-ended otherwise.

And yes there was snow on the ground, but not a massive amount, and in the bit of the UK I was in, there isn't much distance between villages, so very very little risk of getting into serious trouble not in reach of other humans.
