Yup. The only things that make me nervous in poor conditions are the people behind me.
Actually, it’s funny when you think about the fact that there are people who follow too close to safely stop in bad conditions, and those are probably the same people who blow red lights 2-3 seconds late because they had zero confidence in their ability to stop for a yellow.
