Can you be ticketed for driving the posted speed limit during a heavy downpour?

• A.No, the posted limit is always legal in any weather
• B.Yes, but only on highways
• C.Yes, if that speed is too fast for the conditions, even though it matches the posted limit
• D.No, weather is never a factor in speed enforcement

Why

Florida's basic speed law requires a speed that is reasonable for conditions. Driving the posted number on flooded or slick roads can still be a violation if it is unsafe.
