If there’s a foot of snow on the ground, do you think a driver is excused if they are driving under the speed limit when they smash into a car?
Obviously, road conditions and the context are taken into account. So, assuming your calculations are accurate, this driver was at the speed limit. However, it was raining so there’s a gray area for where he should have been driving.
More importantly, and the point I make in my own post, a driver must take into account context. Again, assuming your calculations are correct, he was at or near the speed limit…
- In rainy conditions
- Next to a line of stopped cars
Again, I’m not Honda Fit’s attorney, but I would love your calculations because they show the dashcam driver was driving too fast for the inclement weather.
And I would add that he was driving next to a line of stopped cars, as discussed in my own post.
