You can get mad that the world doesn't cater to your whims and let it ruin your day, or you can take a "chill-pill" and relax, knowing you will get to your destination a few minutes later than you might have.

"when both the driver and vehicle are operating at peak condition and weather is clear and sunny."
No one was talking about the weather, nor the driver's/vehicle's "peak condition"...
That is changing the parameters of the argument...
Of course, if it's raining, you slow down. No one argued otherwise...
Of course if your brakes don't work, you get off the road. Again, not the argument...
And, as far as "taking a chill pill" goes, that pill works for you, as well...
If you see someone trying to pass you (safely, of course, lest you bring another variable into the equation), let them pass you. Slow down for the few seconds it takes to let them pass. Don't be a d!ck...
