(C) No operator or driver of any vehicle on any street or highway within the Village shall unnecessarily cause the vehicle he is driving to accelerate excessively. For purposes of this section, to "accelerate excessively" shall mean to cause the vehicle's tires to spin or lose traction on the pavement, or to accelerate at a rate that is faster than ordinary and reasonable.
(D) The fact that the speed of a vehicle does not exceed the applicable maximum speed limit does not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hillcrest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, or when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic by reason of weather or highway conditions. Speed shall be decreased as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person or vehicle on or entering the highway in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care.
