    Nothing will ever stop the dummies flying off the road from driving too fast on snow and ice.

    So let me get this straight....it sends people messages to a wireless device....so in order to read these warning messages, they have to take their eyes off the road to read a warning message. So the government is forcing people to be distracted...great safety plan.

    Stopped traffic usually stops them, but I agree. It's our instant gratification society today, and that won't change anytime soon. This^^^? Just another half baked attempt to make it appear they are trying. I say put them all in a Crackerbox Jimmy or R Model Mack, that will slow them down,,,but then there's the ones that will assuredly quit upon seeing those trucks. I was happy to have a job.
