The second rule of driving states that the proper following distance is at least 2 seconds from the vehicle in front of you. This applies to any speed you are travelling, whether it be slow or fast, as long as the weather and road conditions are ideal. Maintaining a safe following distance allows you to react in time to any sudden changes and helps prevent collisions.
remember that the posted speeds are intended only for the most ideal conditions
No, you should not. Your speed should depend on the weather conditions, and you should only drive a speed that is safe according to current visibility and road conditions.

The day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere are called weather. It includes factors such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure.
The Buggati Veyron has a top speed of 256 mph. This top speed can be broken due to ideal conditions.
No. Advance warning signs on a curve recommend safe speed in ideal conditions.
Drivers are expected to drive at a speed suitable for the weather and road conditions. Keeping to the speed limit when the weather is appalling, is rather silly. The police could pull over a driver they consider to be driving in a dangerous manner.
A posted speed limit of 55 mph does NOT mean that you may drive 55 mph on that highway under all conditions. The top posted limit is for ideal conditions. But when driving, the conditions never completely stay at ideal. You must use common sense and judgment to lower your speed as necessary.
An officer could cite you for driving too fast for conditions, even if you are driving at the posted speed limit of 45 MPH during extreme weather conditions. Drivers are required to adjust their speed based on weather and road conditions to ensure safety.
The Speed Limit or appropriate speeds according to weather conditions.
Temperature, precipitation (rain, snow), and wind speed are three weather conditions that change daily.
