What behavior might indicate that a driver is traveling too fast for conditions?

A driver skidding or failing to stop can be a clear indicator that they are traveling too fast for the prevailing conditions. When the speed exceeds what is safe for the current environment—considering factors like weather, road surface, traffic, and visibility—this can lead to a loss of vehicle control. For example, if the roads are wet or icy, a vehicle traveling at a high speed may not be able to brake effectively, leading to skidding. This behavior reflects a mismatch between the driver's speed and the environmental conditions, emphasizing the importance of adjusting speed to maintain control of the vehicle.

In contrast, driving with headlights off, engaging in safe driving practices, and using turn signals consistently do not inherently indicate speed issues. While these actions can affect safety overall, they do not specifically reflect whether a driver is traveling too fast for the conditions.
