Completely agree...Although I don't think anyone could have foreseen how completely destroyed that SUV would be...just horrific. Just because you have a big SUV around you, doesn't mean you're safe and can overdrive your vehicle in snow and ice. Speaking of kids, that video should be required viewing for any kid taking driver ed classes in school...scare them now, rather than 3 seconds before they die.

I would like for every Yankee that told me Southerners don't know how to drive to watch that video. we drive slow in snow because of the ice. I don't care who you are or what you are driving, your can't drive when it gets that slippery. When I lived in Raleigh, I'd drive along slowly in the right lane when the weather(usually ice) was bad, you see a SUV with Ohio/Penn/ or whatever tags go flying past. A couple of miles down the road, you'd see them in the ditch

Ol' boy driving the box truck did a hell of a job keeping her upright.

Working accidents like that is a part of my job I won't miss when I retire.
