Why should you adjust your speed in bad weather?

451. Why should you adjust your speed in bad weather?

To keep the engine from overheating.
To reduce fuel consumption.
✓ Because visibility and grip may be reduced.
To prevent the tyres from losing air pressure.

Rain, snow, fog, and ice can reduce visibility and tyre grip. Lower speed gives you more time and distance to react and stop safely.
