Winter is Coming. Slow the **** Down

[LostLassie]

Though there is dispute about the source of the video, it pretty much speaks for itself--in a horrified shriek.

Roads will get icy & slick in no time.

I don't care how skilled a driver you imagine you are. Slow the fuck down.

PS Some doof actually posted in the comments section "Anyone hurt?"

Reminds me of the scene in Jack Nicholson's Wolf.
Doctor says, "My friend's son was sitting by their pool this summer, and was bitten by a snake. Now he has brain damage."
Nicholson's character says "Oh, my God. Is he all right?"
Doctor replies, "No, you idiot. He has brain damage."

So, no, I'm certain no one was hurt, unless, by some unfortunate coincidence, they were unnaturally incapable of surviving being inside a tin box that was disintegrated by a semi at seventy miles an hour.

This is so true as one of my best friends was killed in an accident with a semi just last night on I-80 near Youngstown.

So sorry to hear that.

Appears the driver was going within the speed limit and with the flow of traffic. We don't know what the actual cause of them losing control was. It may have been mechanical.

So the lesson learned is slow the fuck down? (Or the even more idiotic "don't read a book, text or put up makeup!" I can almost guarantee the driver wasn't reading a book or putting on makeup in those conditions).

If instead the driver of the SUV was going 20mph slower in the right hand lane it would still have been dangerous as they would have been impeding the flow traffic.

Ouch.
