Where does it say that excessive speed was involved? There are other
factors that can also contribute to accidents. THINK

(heh, I've wanted to say that for a while

(yeah, I know, don't feed the troll)

HAHAHA. Have you ever driven a car in america? Do you even know what a
car is?

In america no one ever slows down for a snowstorm. That would mean the
snowstorm has won.

Took the bait, didn't you?

And Darwin has a party. BTW, are you aware of the difference between
maximum legal speed and "too fast for conditions"? I was taught as a
teen not to drive faster than visibility allows.

It could be that the storm appeared to come out of nowhere. Remember,
this is winter, storms can move fairly fast.

Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely), Speeders & Drunk

I'm disappointed. Only one death in this accident. Darwin is slipping in
the quality of his work.

Damn, I'm glad I live where it doesn't snow.

The problem is with linear thinkers like yourself, believing that
posted speed limits are always right, and anything else is always
wrong.

What IS right is to drive the proper speed for conditions, whether it's
85 MPH on a dry day with light traffic, or 15 MPH in a blizzard.

LMAO.

You're probably right about that one for a change. I can soooo believe that with
the American psyche.

The variable message sign on the NY Thruway in Syracuse said "I90 WESTBOUND /
CLOSED IN PA" last night, with the traffic info AM stations as far east
as Utica (that I know of), proclaiming the same thing and why.
Apparently all westbound traffic was being detoured from Thruway Exit
61 to US 20 to get to "Pennsylvania and Ohio" per the traffic
announcements.

They were talking about significant snow fall in the area as well.

Was all of I-90 closed or just the portion between exits 32 and 35?

I am no longer an American licensed driver. Drove in Ohio for years,
but now I am licensed to drive in California, and we all know living in
California is like living on another planet. <chuckle>

*pat on the head*

You poor, poor troll. You're delusional.

> In america no one ever slows down for a snowstorm.

Right. You obviously have never driven in Cleveland. Traffic slows
to a crawl during bad snowstorms there. (I lived there for over 30
years, about half of which I spent driving)
