    it really does...considering 309 is so busy you would think the meat heads in pa would plow/salt no they dont.i had to run a red light on 309 a few weeks ago because there was so much snow/ice on the road i couldnt stop and i was loaded & going less then 10 mph..truck started sliding i hit the air horns to alert the cars that had the green light and continued creeping through the intersection

    California plates? Reefer trailer? Very likely not familiar with the area. PennDOT isn't big on treating/clearing roads with snow and ice until there have been a few accidents. Or so it seems, anyway.

    No, you ran a red light because "less than 10 mph" was still too fast for conditions.
