It perplexes me just how reckless drivers are everytime it snows.
If it’s been snowing and freezing raining for the past 24 hours, I really don’t care if they treated the roads, I’m doing the speed limit AT most if conditions seem reasonable. If you tailgate me, suddenly I feel so unsafe, I feel like I need to slow down some to compensate for the reckless behavior of the drivers around me.
Seriously, though, following distance is vital in bad weather conditions, it can be the difference between an insurance claim/death/injury and driving to work being uneventful.

The number of people that I've seen still doing 70 on I-76 near Philadelphia at night in heavy rain...
There is no way they could even see the guardrails let alone the lines on the road..

Im a local trucker up in the poconos. It astounds me how bad people drive. Especially those good ol' boys in older Dodge Rams and the army of cross over SUVs that feel invisible.
I remember when I lived in rural Colorado, there was a saying among the locals I found funny that went the "Texan's first winter." Since they dont salt the roads, but lay down cinder/sand and pack it down, these bozos would buy these beautiful pickup trucks, put it in 4wd H and drive like it's a sunny and dry day, and almost immediately slide into a ditch.
