    You know Ogre, I'm tired of people blaming 'circumstances' for accidents.
    I got 1 word for you, anticipation.
    You don't do u turns because despite what you may see, you never know what's over the hill.
    There was another thread on here about a guy wiping out someone coming off the shoulder. Should have never happened. Every time I saw someone on the shoulder, I knew they were going to do something stupid. So I either slid over or slowed down.

    My point is this: if you're gonna be a pro, be a pro. Anticipate that the idiot in front of you or behind you is just about to do something really stupid and prepare.

    And don't do u turns on the highway.

    Don't know if you have ever been in that area, but the fog can get thick enough that the only safe thing to do is find a parking spot, and good luck.

    "Gee, seems like the fog is pretty heavy tonight, I think I'll just pull over before I hit a church bus with 20 kids in it."
    Anticipation.
