Sorry to hear of your little incident, Mike. Ouch.

I don't understand what the hurry is in rainy/icy/snowy weather, while driving. You're in a comfy, climate controlled box w/a nice chair w/access to radio, and possibly drinks (but only when stopped!!). Well, unless you ABSOLUTELY must be somewhere by a certain time, but that would still be your fault for not budgeting enough time.
