On Foggy pileups kill 2, involve more than 100 vehicles near Madison

This morning, I drove I90 Northwest bound, from Newville to Madison. I'm sad to say that there were plenty of drivers who didn't learn anything from yesterday's catastrophe. They were using a method I've labeled, "Faith Based Driving." Barreling blindly into what they could not see based on their faith that there was nothing in front of them.

I was a bit uncomfortable at the speed I was going, but many folks blew past me, hurtling down what that they could only hope was an open road free of obstacles. Thankfully there were no obstacles. We passed skid marks on the road, huge divots in the median, and the debris of broken cars. But people kept on zooming down the highway.

This was the same kind of ridiculously, criminally, irresponsible behavior that caused yesterday's disaster.

Just because it works 98% of the time, is no reason to behave this way--just ask the people involved in the other 2% of the time.
