If there is one thing to enjoy about having shitty road conditions from the winter's start to finish in the Canadian prairies, it's that this shit doesn't happen because our drivers are all well adjusted to the road conditions.

Oh shut up, it was a sudden white out with instant reduced visibility so people didn't have time to slow down before they saw the pile up. I drive 60-70 in light snow too, no big deal, but when conditions are changing that fast i imagine its difficult. Its a 150 car pile up for gods sake, these kinds of things dont happen every day and you can't blame it 100% on the drivers. Saying that "your drivers" are better would have prevented 150 cars from crashing is a massive jump.

I see what you mean. It's not so much our people but our roads. It's always icy here, and when weather gets bad it doesn't even make much of a difference because people are already adjusted to completely shit driving conditions.

Than why is it that the red and green plates suck so hard when they cross the divide? You guys can handle shitty road conditions, as long as said roads are straight and flat.

Here in Utah this happens at least 22 times a year. That's why Mormons have so many children because if they didn't they would go extinct.

I bet 90% of the criticism is coming straight out of Florida.

Arguing about this on the internet is going to be unproductive and stupid; it wasn't even my intent make it this way. So in an attempt to make everyone happy I'll retract my previous statements and replace them with the following.

In the Canadian prairies we never get regular snowfall, or lake effect snow squalls. Even if we did our roads wouldn't stay icy for long because we have high traffic volumes and temperatures that often hover around the 0C mark. Not to mention everyone here drives snowploughs just in case. Even at that all of our drivers here suck, including myself. So much so that we have frequent traffic pile-ups, especially in my home Province of Manitoba.

This happened super close to where I live, and everyone was going crazy. Definitely a hectic day. Also did anyone see the firework truck that was part of the crashing on I-94? also super fucked https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/747882/Firework-Truck-Explodes-on-I-94-Michigan-Interstate--Massive-150-Vehicle-Pile-up-Car-Crash

OMG let me tell you about how bad the roads are in Duluth.

Honestly though we had a radio ad run recently where the sheriff Said something to the effect of "winter driving is a part of our lives for many months a year, lets act like we've been there before." haha it was awesome.

That's so offensive to all the poor families that will go home tonight without their fireworks.
