Classic case of too much speed and not enough space for the conditions. People need to pull their heads out and think about the consequences of what they're doing.

I heard Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd on our Alaska news say that you couldnt see your hand in front of your face due to the mix of smoke and fog...lucky there werent more fatalities...
Years ago, I logged Many miles on I-4 thru there.

Some of my least-favorite memories of the years I worked in Florida are of the highways; especially I-95 and the unending work being done on it. When my wife first joined me back there, we took an excursion boat up the New River. As we approached the highway the tour guide told us, "we're about to pass under the I-95 freeway. I know some of you don't understand what a highway name means, so I'll spell it out for you: the "I" stands for "incomplete," and "95" is the number of years they'll'll probably be working on it."

You wouldn't beleive how some clowns up here drive in the snow, it scares the hell out of me.

I see a lot of problems with idiots in their SUV's, mainly housewives (not insulting SUV owners) who think that because they have 4WD, they can do whatever they want. Can't seem to grasp that it doesnt matter if your tires have power to them when you are trying to stop on ice.
