Sounds like the morons that don’t recall that “Dew Point and low temps equals insta-frost” on the roads.
Had some recent oopsies in my area.
I laughed my butt off.

Naw. These are just from the warmth of the air, which keeps the asphalt soft, and the rain, which lifts the oil off the soft asphalt. Folks tailgate, see tail-lights bright ahead and try to stop. They hydraplane on the lifted oil and smash the vehicle(s) in front of them.

They are the same ones who see rushing water over the road and say, “I’ve been down this street 1,000 times! Piece of cake!” And end up calling 911 about a mile downstream.

We (Las Vegas) try to educate the newcomers but they seem to think it doesn’t apply to them.

A change of seasons is no guarantee that road conditions are any safer than any other season.
