An often used phrase on here and elsewhere but what exactly does it mean.

I live in a semi-rural area with a cracking selection of A/B roads, some are regularly gritted some not so.

When the weather first took a turn for the worse I was uber-cautious, a combination of a new to me RWD car and cold weather rustiness.

However now I've noticed my speed has gradually crept up, certainly not to a level that could ever be considered 'pressing on' but certainly quicker than a couple of weeks ago.

So, I'm I driving to the conditions? I've felt no slippage from the car at all and I make a point of leaving extra distance between me and the next car. I end up catching (and overtaking) several 25mph cars but equally I've had cars fly past me doing at least 60.

Not really sure what the point of this post is, just writing down my rather dull thoughts that I had when stuck behind Miss Daisy earlier!
