That you'll be slowing to a safe speed before turning, is the type of obvious and unnecessary statement that we should not be clogging frequencies with. Like that we won't be taking off overweight or flying slower than stall speed. Duh.

ATC should know that planes have to slow down more for turns when it's slippery out; and if they don't, they'll figure it out quickly enough.
