As i pointed out above peoples skill set on the roads differs greatly so a compromise is reached between getting from A-B safely and quick enough to make the journey practical .Peoples own assessment of driving conditions cannot be relied on when they are late for work or any other appointment .There are a thousand things that can affect their judgement and lead them to assess the conditions incorrectly that's why we have limits and it is the utmost arrogance on the part of a driver to think he/she knows better and can somehow predict the future
