USE YOUR 4-WAY-FLASHERS WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE MAINTAINING SPEED. PERSONS WHO CONSTANTLY RIDE THE BRAKE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY ARE HAZARDS, PASS THEM, DON'T FOLLOW THEM.
If only CBS would comment on the number of people killed in Detroit this year. A car can become a weapon in the wrong hands. Given the weather, I would have taken a different route. But that's because I value my life.
I was driving home one Christmas and happen to drive into a snow storm. The driver in front of me decided to stop on the interstate. The interstate was covered in snow so when I braked to keep form hitting the other car I started sliding. Fortunately I was able to miss the stopped car and make it home. Not sure what happened behind me but felt very fortunate to have made it home safely. Not sure why people feel the need to suddenly stop on the interstate with so many other cars behind them.
well, american cars and american highways are actually the safest in the world. this is because they are the most closely regulated. by a longshot, actually. some people die. that is always terrible. but in large measure fewer people die per mile driven than anywhere else in the world regulation saved thousands of lives.
horrible and unfortunate this happened, but where's the snow? there's almost no snow in these pics so as far as Michigan goes it's hard to believe that it was that big of a white out.
There is very little snow, but everything you see there fell in a matter of about 15 minutes. There was no snow on the ground before this morning. It only snowed for a very short amount of time, but it was extremely heavy and started suddenly. The roads were also slippery because they were wet from rain last night, and then became icy when the temperature went below freezing overnight.

Did your car have traction control, ABS, etc?
This is a massive, tragic, and needless accident.
Smarmy responses about changing laws or getting rid of automobiles solves nothing.
Reminding people to be cognizant and considerate of others might, but that's a trend that's been quietly eroding the last few decades...
And common sense laws, right down to not letting pedestrians have the right of way... but before I digress too far...

I agree.
It happens everywhere.
People just don't think or feel like they have to be there there there, and now now now.
Well, it is true that "time is money"...
