Agree with RR's comments about speed. There's a road on the way to work which has a sharp bend and on a hot, dry day, you can take it at the speed limit. But in any other condition, the car can slide/skid and particularly as it's a blind corner, you have to slow down. Despite dropping the speed to 20mph, I still ended up with the back end waving out towards the centre of the road. This was an icy, cold day. If another car had been coming from the other end, they may well have hit me, especially if they didn't drop their speed either.
"Speeding" isn't the correct phrase here. It's "excessive speed for the conditions" and may well have been under the speed limit.
