First off, why in the h*ll would all those ppl be driving too fast on a highway when u couldn't see 10 feet ahead of you??? Thats dumbness. And as soon as the intial crash happened, wouldn't u think the ppl behind would hear it at least and slow down or stop??? Dumb drivers, I wouldn't of driven with fog like that.

But anyways, some junkyard near there's gonna get filled up pretty quickly!!!

Exactly, it only takes one reckless driver to smash up a lot of cars and people. With 10-15 foot visibility, people should literally just pull over.

Well, if it snows for one second, then ya u'd look like a Jackass going 10 on a highway.

Really, though, if its raining, snowing, foggy or any of that, just keep slow and take caution, not a hard thing to do.
