144 (1) A person must not drive a motor vehicle on a highway
(c) at a speed that is excessive relative to the road, traffic, visibility or weather conditions
By your own definition, you were...if you had been going slower you would not have lost control in the scenario you just described. If you had hit another vehicle or pedestrian because you were skidding and not turning would you be asking this question? The section definition is "speed relative to conditions"....not excessive speed *( plus 40 or 60 k over the limit) , speed against hwy sign, speed in a municiplaity....relative to the conditions that existed..an uneven dense snow patch, you were going so fast that you admit you lost control.

at about 20k, then slow down to 10K to make the right turn <=====did we miss that parT? how slow should I be going then, hmmm?
It was something that I was not able to see. whatever it was that made my car slip, was only made aware to me when it happened.
I figured it was just ice/uneven patch, hidden underneath softer top layer of snow. I wasn't able to see any of that at all. I managed to stop quickly, since i was going only
10KM/H <----incase you missed it the second time.
