Give advice or instructions on how to drive safely during freezing rain or bad weather. Share your thoughts on a recent accident caused by reckless driving.
Dammit, people. Use your brains! When we have freezing rain, more common these last few winters than ever before, slow down, give yourself more room to stop, watch your cornering and slow down -even further- if you have to. Travel in the 'slow' lane. It's not worth the 3 minutes you gain by weaving/speeding through traffic when road conditions are bad. Even going the speed limit will not save you if conditions have deteriorated past the 'safe zone'.  The Glenn Highway is well known for icing, account for it, watch the weather, leave earlier. And if it comes down to it, tell the Boss to get bent if you are 5 minutes late by driving cautiously. Tell them to look out the window and check the traffic reports.  No more sadness like this :(
