I suppose I should note that I did not go 60 when I could not see. For over half the trip to work that morning I was going about 40-45mph behind a ford explorer which was quite a ways ahead of me (probably 60-70 feet or more) and I was just following them. The period in which I did 60mph, was breif (maybe .5 mile) and visibility was good at that point in time, I could see well ahead of me. I'd never go 60 in a blizzard!!

You'd never believe what a paranoid driver I am, I flash my brakes if someone is closer than 2 car lengths behind me, and I usually trail people at least 3-4 car lengths back. When I park I always go to the far end of the lot and try to be next to at least one curb.

I am not stupid enough to risk my life or my car's, the point I went that fast I could see well ahead of me, and there were 0 other cars out there whatsoever.
