The natives of my state (Montana) usually know how to drive on our winter road conditions, but it's the out of staters who need to stop and think once in a while. Say...for instance there are 20 cars with Montana license plates going 45 mph on the interstate in a nice neat little row. And along comes a vehicle from say....Washington barreling past all the cars at 70 mph. 1 mile down the road, the said Washington state vehicle is on it's top in the barrow pit. I would think that a good clue should of been ALL the Montana vehicles were driving slow.

And yes, the SUV's, Dodge Ram's, etc, are also frequently seen in a crashed condition around here. For some reason people think weight and size equals being superman of the road and the rules of gravity and traction don't apply to them. And as long as they don't crash into me, or one of my loved ones then they can sure do whatever it is that they want on the road.

**Disclaimer-I only used Washington state as an example. People from California crash and burn around here too. ;)
