the way I see it, it's simple statistics. Just look at the accidents I've described. With the exception of my friend who hit the black ice(which although I have never encountered I would imagine is still visible and avoidable, regardless), every accident I have listed could have been avoided had the person kept more space around their vehicle, been more aware of their surroundings, had better judgement, you name it. That's 80% of the accidents that have happened to my immediate family and friends in recent years!

onesnowyowl, i'll doubt if my views on this matter will change in time, but I suppose we shall see. Ontario also has pretty damn good roads for the most part; i've never really experienced much standing water on roads. Really, I suppose we're all functions of our environments. Regardless of what's been said in this thread, I still love y'all.
