While driving under the speed limit can you be done for dangerous driving?

Say for instance you were doing 100 on a road with a speed limit of 120 can you be charged with dangerous driving if the conditions (e.g. fog / icy road) would suggest you should be driving below that speed?

Contact the Garda ombudsman and and make a complaint concerning dangerous driving and harassment. If not, you've no defense if you get a summons for dangerous driving. After all, according to your account, you were not able to brake in a straight line and had to swerve, so this means his actions were extraordinary.

Contacted local Garda station as soon as I got into work.

Then, best not to discuss it here as it could complicate any case if it all goes to court.
