1. That is terrible.

I know around here we get fog on the mountain. While I slow down and put my flashers on most people drive like it's normal visibility. Awful things happen b/c people don't believe slowing down is more important than getting there as soon as possible.

Basically if you are in McLean county stay off the roads
