I don't care if you have to do 2mph the whole way- if the conditions warrant it, you slow down.

Here in Florida, when it rains, it RAINS. Many times, traffic on a major highway will slow down to 15mph (from a normal 60 or 65) because the rain is coming down so heavily.

Responsible driving includes slowing down under imperfect driving conditions, and maintaining your full attention even moreso than normal. So, the idiot was driving full speed and talking on her phone while plowing her SUV through a slushy mess.

They didn't deserve to die, and I do have sympathy, but I also have to shake my head at the colossal stupidity. Accidents are accidents when normal human preventative measures were taken, and some small degree of human error caused a problem- an accident is NOT when someone blatantly ignores shitty drivign conditions and talks on their phone at the same time, it's an invitation to trouble.

My grandmother is 83, she's never driven in her whole life. Many people, especially those living in large cities, rely heavily on public transportation. I love when people say "the arrogance of youth" when they have no clue what they're talking about. Those not-so-youthful are perfectly capable of arrogance as well, but they pass off their assholish behavior and snap-judgments as "experience". And i'm not just talking about one person in this thread, either.

I'll tell you what kind of experience I have- I have almost 25 years' worth of experience in not being an asshole or self-righteous prick. I was born in 81, do the math.
