I should be studying for an exam tomorrow, but instead I'm reading the news.....

A sudden snow squall was being blamed for a series of chain-reaction accidents involving 85 to 90 vehicles on a western Michigan highway that killed one motorist and injured at least 34 others, police said.

Then there's this in the same article.....

On Jan. 12, two people were killed and 37 were hurt in a series of crashes involving more than 200 vehicles that happened in patchy fog along Interstate 96 near Lansing.

It seems to me that people are now used to going well over 60 on the highway, and don't slow down as much as they used to when the weather turns bad. I'm guilty of it myself, but then the severe storms here don't happen very often. It would be interesting to find out if big car pile ups have increased since they raised the limits on the interstates.....
