Smart thing to do. Dumb thing to do? Complain about what happens when you hit them at 90 MPH.

Honestly. A movie star gets killed in a hot car. Where have we seen this happen before?

Interesting theory....However here in snowy and icy states I have noticed that there are more spinouts on side of road in dry conditions in winter since the rumble strips came into wide use. . I suspect that the rumble strip divots ground into the highways here hold water that can freeze and are causing some accidents. ie. dry conditions in winter lead to higher speeds, generally on the interstate highway. Drifting driver hits rumble strip and leftover ice in divots and yanks steering wheel and the compromised friction due to ice and wheel moving up and down can cause an issue. The question is: are they preventing more accidents then they may cause? Anyone know of studies on the possibilities that rumble strips cause accidents?
