On a recent trip to the Tampa Area from TV, I got stuck in a very heavy localized downpour. I could not see more than 15 feet or so ahead of me and was doing about 40mph on the Suncoast Parkway. A few cars sped past me but I do not remember any doing more than 60 mph or so.

I usually go just about the speed limit or maybe a few miles over it.
