Not always the case. The highway could have a massive pile up and you could be trapped for hours. The backroads tend to be slower but at leastoving and with fewer accidents. If you know how to drive in bad weather (slow down, maintain traction, etc.), The backroads will be safer than the highway full of fools on summer tires going at or over the speed limit in poor conditions...

The highway absolutely has the risk of accidents and pileups, but someone is also going to find you on that highway in that case. Nobody's going to find you for days out on a back road if something goes wrong.

Obviously the real LPT is not to be out driving in these conditions if you can help it.
