It absolutely needs a fine & laws as well as enforcement. If it were, maybe situations like this could be avoided. My husband and I don’t drive in snow, at all. Two years ago his job said if you don’t come in you are fired. My son also works at the same place. This is a man who does not call out and arranges days off with PTO months ahead of time. They ended up getting stuck on the I-5 for 8 hours with several other people, including his boss. We keep an emergency kit in the car. Blankets, water, food, hand warmers and candles. Neither one got fired. They do both work at different shops now after that incident. I have seen Mount Jimeny in MA state require employees to come to work even when their governor declares a state of emergency declaring no one on the road. The do not provide their employees accommodations if the get stuck on the mountain. It’s a $1000 fine there. Laws like this could protect more then just your average driver!
