I drove through this same spot maybe 10 minutes before this person also headed southbound. The rain was fairly light and road wet but not bad, though I was still going 60 in a 65mph zone. All of sudden the sky just opened up in a massive, hard hail storm. I felt my truck lose traction and slide slightly, slowed down to 40 as I noticed hail and other tire tracks on the road. I was about ready to slow more and engage the four wheel drive when the road went back to wet pavement. I am glad that no one was injured. Amazing how conditions can go from moderate to bad in an instant.

I reduce speed in any adverse condition. Slow down for darkness, for rain, it can save your life.

Yes, exactly. A sudden change in ambient conditions demands a sudden change in driving mode. Many will not do that. Pedal to the metal, no matter what; ice, wind, deluge, darkness, can’t slow down, can’t pull over.
