    I'd still like to know how the weather 'caused' the accident. It's the improper actions of the drivers that cause the accidents!

    i read this post more than once,it reminds me of how fast the taco benders drive and the careless disreguard of any body else on the rd..they drive like a bat out of hell and very seldom ever pay attention when changing lanes. especially in the larger texas cities that this goes on in. makes me kinda glad i no longer am an otr driver.but i'm still a driver nevertheless.

    No doubt. The adverse weather conditions require changes in a person's driving behavior. If you don't alter your behavior to suit the road conditions, you are asking for trouble.
