Conditions?... It's dark out and your car is equipped with headlights.

Yes and? You've been saying that you drive at a speed that creates a greater stopping distance than your visibility right? If not you are arguing with Gordo for no reason. He is right, whether it's a blind corner or dark highway, the smart thing to do is drive only as far as you can see.

I'm no stickler to the speed limit, I'm often driving over the speed limit when conditions dictate it's safe (draconian speed limit's here in OZ compared to real world performance). And I was an avid kart racer, speed (specifically cornering and braking) is in my blood.

BUT I will not drive blindly into the distance when I'm driving with sense, your just rolling the dice doing otherwise.
