I’m a Texan......I’ve seen icy conditions several times in my life......and while my heart goes out to the fatalities and those families who lost loved ones or have loved ones injured you can’t drive like you normally do when we have ice!! We’re not used to it here.......sad situation brought on by be unfamiliar with driving conditions as different as night and day. Sounds harsh but sorry folks, it’s true

Fed Ex driver was plowing along and not even trying to slow down. He got airborne.

Massive pileups happen regularly. It’s not as if each one is a surprise! Slippery highways and poor visibility happen a few times each winter.

So people act as if it never happened before and as if they don’t know what can happen if they don’t adjust their driving accordingly.

It will happen again, and again. And it will be Breaking News again and again.

Ever hear of ‘too fast for conditions’?

I was a driver’s helper on a big rig earlier this week.
Told him I wouldn’t want to do his job, too much responsibility.
If something goes wrong I don’t want to be the cause of a fatality.
I’ll stick with my Chevy Express Extended Cargo Van.

I watch MegaDrivingSchool on YouTube (yeah, I know). The nearly daily 10-minute-ish collages of videos are reason number one I’m saving a bit extra for a front and rear camera in my commuter rig.

It was a little snowy in Southern Connecticut early this morning. Not unusual for us. In fact, normal weather for February.

However, I was trying to maintain a safe speed and still I had yahoos tailgating me and passing me, giving me the finger as they passed. Slower speed is essential when it is icy or snowy on the roads.

So you arrive 5-10 minutes later at your destination. So what?

This is how people get into the situations like we saw in Texas this morning. Just too fast for conditions.
