True that, I really avoid any metal while riding since tires don't have any traction on them especially when they're wet. If I do go beyond 20mph, it's really me putting a lot of effort, I just cruise within 10-18mph. I agree with ride to survive, I would always slow down or stop whenever I'm in a turning street or someone from incoming traffic is gonna make a turn since I've had experiences when drivers either don't see me or just think they have the right of way always. Ride safe always!
