Idiots refuse to slow down when visibility drops to nothing.

check out the the 40 second mark on that Video, guy got lucky for sure

Just an observation. The video commentator is more worried about his car and the stuff in the car than other accident victims.

It’s never been my driving I have concerns about - it’s the crazy other drivers and not just in bad weather!

Yeah, right? Boy I sure would if I were him.

That gray SUV just came roaring through like a speed demon. And that second tractor trailer that plowed into the rear of that first one. Man, I hope that guy made it out.

Say a prayer.

What the hell is wrong with people who drive those things in weather like this thinking they’ve got to do 80 miles an hour?

Of course it would be I-81.

It’s a death trap from Syracuse all the way down to wherever it ends.

I would require that every new driver watch that video and learn how to get to safety in these situations. Some of this is avoidable.

Shortly thereafter he said he was signing off and going to see if he could help anybody who might have been hurt. He did wonder aloud what he was going to do about his car. My thought was, "get in touch with your insurance company."

Good God Almighty what the hell is wrong with some people? That idiot in the gray SUV came sailing through there like it was the INDY 500.

Typical for SUV drivers with their useless all season radials.

They think they are invincible because they have a four wheel drive SUV.

I foolishly attempted to drive through a snow squall for a few seconds. When I stopped my car I was on the other side of the road and less than a foot from a telephone pole in front of me.

Comments are interesting.

One person says it was completely preventable and some idiot asks how nature is preventable.

It was completely preventable.

Drive for the conditions and most of that would not have happened.

You ought to come to the hospital I work at in southern NJ.

I call the place “New Manila/Bombay’’.

There’s every jabbering Third World mutt on the planet working in the place.

And the mouthy one’s say “In my country we don’t have guns’’. “In my country health care is free’’.

I ask them “So what are you doing here?’’.

When they give me that “I want a better life’’ bit I have all I can do from slamming them through the wall and saying “Well make it in your own country and stay the hell out of mine!’’ but I can’t.

I have to watch what I say as they first thing these assholes do is learn to play the race card and I’d be out the door.

Some country, ain’t it?

I was in a squall on I-89 east of Burlington, VT years ago when I had an SUV blow by me WAY too fast for conditions...I remarked that we would be seeing the same vehicle a little further down the road. Sure enough, a few minutes later, we passed the same vehicle, which was now on its roof in the median. Seen in all the time around New England back in the day.

Yup, you’re right.

I see these kind of drivers all the time.

They think they’re invincible in those damn things.

I am a bit hard of hearing, but didn't hear him say that. Any chance you were listening to a different edited video clip? In ant event, I am not trying to be overly critical of the person taking the video. Just pointing out human nature. I am sure the guy was in total shock..
