Also a bit of trivia: roads don't have to be under standing water to be slick. The slickest conditions (outside of ice) are generally just-moist roads at the beginning of a rain fall after dry weather. This happens because grease and oil have had a chance to dry on the road surface, and when rain starts, it brings the slick stuff to the surface. After a while, that washes away.
stfu. everyone who wasn't there knows what the conditions were better than him!!

I didn't say that this was how the roads were. I was just responding to the idea that "because the roads weren't flooding with water, conditions couldn't be slick."

NO you broke the rules. you are only allowed to comment about how you know what he should have done and how, despite not being there, the conditions were definitely BETTER than what they actually were....

Yeah, you're right. And if I were him, I probably would have paused at that one stop sign a little longer. I think a cop nearly pulled him over. And that shirt he was wearing. God, what was he thinking this close to labor day?
