    Like moths to a flame. 2 problems. People forget that they will go where they look. The other is the new LED lights on modern cruisers are too #### bright. 3rd......Ice.

    Interstate solid ice. Not surprised. Every ice event in the south causes a bunch of wrecks. I park it. Seen it as it unfolds right before my eyes. Just north of Atlanta once, barely any snow, cars and pu trucks start spinning around, running into each other. Once about 10 yrs ago in Tupelo Ms. in a snow/ice storm. As soon as the snow was sticking, cars started driving off the road. Most panic and hit the brakes, others seemed to just intentionally drive off the road for no reason. It was crazy.

    This is largely due to 2 things. 1) Down here snow events are rare. So those that grew up here don't get much practice that isn't on an atv. 2) The northerners and mid westerners that move here assume that all snow is the same. They always fail to realize the ice/snow/ice oreo we get down here. I can always find the ones to hit the ditch first when I hear "Yous guys dont know how to drive in snow down here at all!" . Yep , go ahead and get wrecker on speed dial. We don't get the light fluffy powdered snow here.....ever, unless man created on the ski slopes, even then its for a day or two until it warms enough to form an ice crust from slight melting from the sun.

    They should get qualified immunity, since they're just performing their duties.....
