Seems like I keep hearing about pileups and always the article says something like, "drivers battling the weather."
I think that if 50 people driving cars run into each other there is something really wrong besides the weather.
Either people are driving too fast for conditions, too close to one another or they just shouldn't be on the road at all.
I asked Scott Marshall what his opinion of pileups is. He answered.
@FixTheToaster Traffic pileups are a result of tailgating, not looking well ahead & anticipating traffic slowdowns in time to respond.

I agree.
We need to stop talking about them as accidents and stop blaming weather.
