When determining a safe speed, factors such as road conditions (weather, traffic congestion, visibility), speed limits, the condition of your vehicle, your own driving experience, and the presence of pedestrians or cyclists should be considered. It is important to adjust your speed accordingly to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
The water and weather conditions, and the amount of shipping in the area. Also, in inland waters, harbours, etc. speed limits may be in force. keeping to marked channels and buoyed shipping lanes may be compulsory.

the state of visibility
The speed restrictions imposed on the section of road, the volume and speed of other traffic on the road, the visibility conditions - how far you can see ahead, the dryness of the road surface, your stopping distance for the speed at which you are travelling and the likelihood of sudden hazards, pedestrians or animals, side wind speeds, your experience, the make of car and type of tyres being used.
When determining a safe speed, it's essential to consider factors such as road conditions, visibility, weather, and traffic density. Additionally, the type of vehicle and its handling characteristics play a crucial role, as do any legal speed limits. Driver experience and awareness of potential hazards also influence the appropriate speed for a given situation. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure safety for oneself and others on the road.
