    If you can't see a safe distance in front of you, slow down!

    Was just talking to Chazsbetterhalf about this.

    I hate when people wanna slow down to 35 mph on the highway. It's dangerous.

    If I can't maintain 55 mph I'd rather pull off.

    Hate traveling under those conditions.
    :hair:

    Hope everyone survived that accident.

    Bingo!

    I've been running I80 a lot lately. Last Thursday about 40 trucks were piled up in a heavy snow squall. All they had to do was slow down, but they wont...
    I personally think there should be a law that automatically fines a driver $100,000 if a crash is caused by not slowing for poor visibility.
    Snow squall crash on I-80 in central Pa. left 2 dead, at least 30 injured

    For sure, that is some scary stuff. I too think there should be a fine system but not sure how much of a fine is necessary and where would those fine dollars go?

    And for sure there were some troopers who no doubt needed some new shorts.

    Tim,

    I think we all would appreciate it if you would refrain from using that type of thread subject line!

    Snow, fog, sometimes the max speed limit becomes 20, even 10 mph to legally maintain control of a vehicle.

    Yep, seeing Tim post that title got me for a minute.


    Saw this crash on the local news the other day and the pile up you mentioned a while back. Traveling slow on a highway is sketchy for sure. You know there’s that guy barreling along and you don’t want to be the one he makes contact with. Common sense is becoming endangered unfortunately.

    Something that doesn't make me worry you had another heart attack?
