So, the snow has been falling and ICBC, Police, etc.. are all telling us to drive slowly. (No mention of leaving extra space between you and the vehicle ahead of you).

The police warn that you can be ticketed for driving too fast for conditions even if you are travelling at speeds below the posted limit.

Section 144 1(c) states:
A person must not drive a motor vehicle on a highway at a speed that is excessive relative to the road, traffic, visibility or weather conditions.

So - what exactly does an officer have to present in court to prove that you were in fact speeding too fast for the conditions?
