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.
