you must travel at a speed appropriate for the conditions or possible conditions. The speed limit is a guideline for the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM that you should ever travel on a road in perfect conditions (you can get a ticket for speeding in the rain while going under the speed limit, for example...)
Obviously I feel bad that Ed crashed, but the accident is technically his fault.

in the eyes of the law as far as insurance... he came over a blind ridge... couldn't KNOW that there was sand/gravel on the road as there was no construction sign... that's why they reduce the speed in recent construction zones...
yes... Ed should have been going slower... but as far as who's at fault for the accident... it's the driver.
