1) The entire article is based off the incorrect assumption that every offense is a different person which the author proved to be incorrect in his first example (but ran with it because it fit his argument).
2) "Most people, it seems, choose a speed that feels safe to drive with full knowledge of their equipment, abilities and the current road conditions"
Baseless and plain wrong. People do NOT understand the safety thresholds of their vehicles and become overconfident with the situation based on past experience. The number of studies that show stopping distance, reaction times, and overall road safety when vehicles are traveling at a difference of 10km/hr is enough to disprove this. And real-world example exists anywhere that gets regular annual snowfall because you'll see how people handle driving when that sudden change in conditions exists.
