    No i.m sorry just as many people with their names on thier door as elog companies and whatever they are logging with you see that kind of changes in the area you get off the road period no excuses for that been on elogs for years I don't run in that even when I was on paper and colored outside the lines and ran out of Dodge City Kansas and Denver there was a time to run and a time to park and when the roads start to rreeze you get off the effing road no amount of experience or skill gets you out of that kind of ice

    CB radio would’ve informed these drivers of the crash before they got there. Before that hill and blind spot. Get a CB. Even if you don’t understand or appreciate CBs, they will be save you at the last second if you have them turned on. Drivers warn other drivers loudly with exact mile marker..

    Oh but boo hoo hoo! I heard a bad word on the CB and it scared me, so I had to turn it off and go to my safe space.

    Ice covered road + people driving too fast for the conditions = recipe for disaster.

    A race track? I44 is fun highway to drive. I enjoy it, and I don't have many others that pass me. I just dont drive it in those conditions, and slow down on the wet roads.

    When it's dry, I set my cruise to 70, and sit back.

    That hill is a recipe for disaster. Driving along, 70 mph on fresh snow, because, you know, they aren’t scared to drive fast in the snow like those pus... er, I mean... “meow meows” from down south. Crest the hill and.... “Oh, son-of-biiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!”
