    A multicar pile up in Wisconsin was caught by a traffic camera. The real fun starts at around the 3:30 mark when the road is pretty much blocked.

    I thought the NASCAR season was over. :lol: I hope everyone is ok but that was funny as hell.

    I wonder if on Russia's M/A they have a website with a thread called "Why America has Traffic Cams"

    I think too many times people are focused on the vehicle right in front of them and not the traffic way out front....

    It may be the quality of the video, but it didn't look like anyone had any lights on.

    I'm going to blame the camera for that... just so I can feel better.

    I hope all are ok. That will teach them to not drive on summer tires in the winter....

    I had to stop watching.....it's a damn artery clogging simulation with vehicles.....

    The weather and roads have been total SUCK up this way since last week. So damn slippery. Much more duration than usual because of the degree of cold mixed with a light snow every 10 hours or so.....that said ----- too much speed for the conditions was key to the fails.

    What surprised me was how many of those fools got out of their cars and just stood in the middle of the road.

    Same kind of people who hear a flock of geese overhead and stand there looking up with their mouths open.

    ...and it ain't all that funny. Poured m'self a drink, went out onto the patio, sat down and - PLOP - bird poop dead center on my glass. Terrible waste of good whisky.

    If the big SEMI had a trailer it would have been a clear road. :( Amazing, they all must have been on the first cup of coffee. :)
