No, not really. Your own safety is concern #1 when driving. For a very simple reason: if you're not safe yourself, you cannot make it safer for others. Others will have different ideas on what is safe. They may feel comfortable breaking traffic rules or pushing you(r vehicle) past your/its safety limits. Some have new cars and new tires and can go much faster than others in slippery conditions. Spoiler: none of that is ever an excuse. Not with traffic police, not with accident investigators, not with emergency services. I don't know what condition your vehicle is in. I don't know how worn out your brakes are, how much grip your tires have. I don't know what happens in your car above that certain speed. I don't need to know; I need to be able to rely on you to operate your vehicle sufficiently safely. That is: such that it doesn't make the roads less safe for me.
