Yeah, that's the part that REALLY gets me. Clearly, a freak snowfall in Florida would end in calamity, but someplace that gets plenty of snow EVERY YEAR, come on people. The people that performed the passes in oncoming lanes at high speed were supremely stupid.

It spun him around and he drove right into the concrete wall. and ended up facing backward with the front end mangled and the side of his Suburban beat up as a bonus. He was getting out to survey the damage as I drove past pointing and laughing.
People with trucks and/or AWD think that they can do whatever they want, but it doesn't work like that. It also wouldn't surprise me if those folks were running crappy all season type tires.
