    I've hit for like that many times on I-80 in Wyoming. I'm usually doing 45 with my 4 ways on just shaking my head as the other drivers blow past me doing 70+.

    There was fog, after all.
    It made him feel safe.

    I'll shut down for heavy fog just as quickly as I will for heavy snow, icy conditions, wind, torrential rain...

    I'm a coward, but I'm still alive and have my job.

    Not just truckers. Too many drivers believe that the posted limit is the minimum, especially in bad weather and at night.
