It only takes one cranked-up semi driver. And there are a lot more than one out there.

We had a big pile up in the Salt Lake area years ago. The weather was freezing with overnight fog creating a lot of black ice. There was highway Patrolman and a news cameraman standing there filming the cars driving by and recording the sounds of the crashes. Visibility was such that you could see maybe 100 feet. Over 100 cars piled up. You could see them fly by at 60mph in that fog, not slowing down one bit. The fog was so dense that the red/blue lights on the patrol cars couldn’t be seen far.

Idiots buy SUVs and all-reason tires and think that they don’t have to slow down in the freezing wet.

I remember driving on a freeway in a snowstorm years ago. Whiteout conditions. I wanted to slow down, but the trucks continued full speed, and I feared being rear ended.

Idiots buy SUV’s.....

I see the same thing with street and underpass flooding as well as low water crossings. They think because they have SUV’s they are invincible (glubglubglub)
