Crash compilation after Minnesota spring snowstorm
The Minnesota State Patrol on Monday said between midnight and 7 a.m. there were 396 crashes (22 with injury, one serious/fatal) and 339 vehicle spinouts/vehicles off the road and 14 jackknifed semi-trucks. Sunday had some heavy snow across the Twin Cities, resulting in roads being sloppy and slick into Monday.

I commuted 40 miles a day round trip for 35 years, and every time someone asked about the roads, I said the roads were fine if you just slowed down and drove carefully. It was the idiots out ON the roads that scared the heck out of me.

we live in a snow ice region. in 50 YEARS of DRIVING, i have never slid off the road, slid into a ditch, crashed into a barrier, or into another car. but no one honks at me when i drive to suit the road conditions, either. when people pass me in such conditions, i then wave at them when i go by them as theyre soon in the ditch....

Do they use any salt on these roads, or is it all ice?
We live in a very mountainous area of north central Washington state. We’re only a 30 minute drive from Wenatchee and they normally get 2-3 feet of snow during winter, yet we get 5-7 feet in our area. We have to plow and maintain our private road. My wife’s Outback does quite well as does my Tacoma TRD Off Road, yet I have to put 300# of sand bags over the rear axle for better traction. Sometimes accidents are unavoidable but we just plan on driving slower and give ourselves more time.
Imagine that… when the temperature drops and the roads are wet they get slippery… hhhmmm

That guy behind you, angry you're going so slow because you're a lousy driver getting in his way? He's one of those spinning around, crazing into guardrails, sailing off into a ditch, or worse, when his luck runs out. There is no way to know exactly how much traction there is at any one point on a highway. It might be solid where you are, but a 1/10 of a mile down the road, very slippery. That's why you drive slow enough to be ready for almost anything, for the given situation. You don't push it to the limit, like Mr. Hotshot Bigshot does.

Weird how you lose abilities when you don't....practice.
Remember everyone, for every inch of snow on the road add 5mph to the posted limit. Every inch of ice add 10. Be sure to use your cruise control, turn off your wipers, and it helps if you should have gotten new tires 2 summers ago. If it says FWD or AWD on the back of your vehicle, the laws of physics don't apply to you. You'll be fine at 80mph because of those magic letters. Drive yourself into the ditch all you want, just don't take me with you.
Its amazing how people forget how to drive on roads in this condition! ESPECIALLY WHERE THIS IS! WTFF
By all means, please don’t slow down!
Apparently no reason to slow down!!
I guess those texts were just too important to ignore.
It still amazes me that people think they can drive just as fast on icy roads as dry roads. Would you walk just as fast on an icy sidewalk as a dry sidewalk? Think people!
You'd think people from Minnesota would know how to drive in snow.
When someone skids, others immediately begin to slow down...
