Because crashing is so much easier than paying attention to road conditions and driving accordingly. Typical blameless NW leftists, retards, illegals and thoughtless dipwicks.

Nonsense.
Even the most careful drivers can get themselves in trouble on icy roads.

Yes, that will prevent 99% of ice related accidents. I’ve watched a couple multiple car crashes over the years. All were caused by following too close. For some odd reason it’s a natural tendency for people to follow very close when on ice.
You got that right. Almost every month I am hearing of deaths from head on collisions and the names are almost always Spanish.
It’s quite obvious you have no clue what light snow on the west coast is like. Here’s a quick seminar:
1 If it’s cold enough to snow, it’s FAR slipperier than you think.
2 If it’s snowing and you are driving, you WILL have an “OH CRAP” moment, or two, or many.
3 A single shovelful of west coast snow is as heavy as FIVE shovels full of prairie snow. Roadpack is close in weight. I know, because it was easier to load the back of my truck with roadpack for traction to drive from Edmonton back to the coast than it was to shovel my sundeck an hour ago.
4 Folks from areas that constantly have that light fluffy crap they refer to as snow WILL look down their nose at you if there is any kind of traffic issue in your area. Usually it will have references to attention and alertness. Consider the source and give their opinion the value it deserves.
After living on the coast and on the prairies, I can tell you that coastal snow is the slipperiest surface you can drive on short of clear lake ice with a thin layer of water on it. It’s a whole different animal from glare ice, black ice, or regular snow. Really.
I have more confidence driving through blizzards in the mountains than I do when it snows out here, and I’ve been driving on public roads in all seasons since I was 12 years old. It’s a whole different ball-o-wax, brother.
