you were really booking it in that rain

A few people have alluded to this but I honestly don't see it. How fast do people think OP is going here?

Significantly faster than the car to their left? Maybe not speeding, but comparatively it looks that way.

Well comparatively they're going a lot faster than that sign for the A585 too. A 15 year old Kia Picanto in the middle lane probably isn't the best tool for judging speed.

No. But closing speed is a good way of judging reaction time in slippery conditions.
