Doing 60+ on snowy icy roads is always smart. Not one bit of sympathy for this asshat.
 
If you grow up in it you view it differently. Not to say he was right. But we drove like it was bare tar most of the time.

I grew up in the mountains of Alberta. If you didn't learn to drive on snow you walked for 6 months of the year. Driving on snow, for some of us, is not much different than pavement (depending on temp and type of snow).

Looked like the photo vehicle WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION!! As soon as that trainer started swaying max braking!!! He only slowed from 55 to 45 before impact. Slow reaction time if you ask me! The roads look slushy but pretty clean. Hope he has insurance!!
 
I had some moron pass me in Wyoming, he had to be doing 85 and almost took off my mirror with his trailer swaying. About 45 minutes later, I came upon him. He wrecked and rolled, his kids bikes were strewn across the road way.

He was driving reasonably. If he had reacted with panic, he would have been off in the grass also.

What you were watching was the natural selection cycle spoken of in Darwin's works!
 
I try to tell people that have never driven in conditions like that, no sudden moves, period. Don't over accelerate, don't jam on the brakes, don't swerve. All of those actions will most assuredly get you an adverse reaction.
 
If you look at the timing, it took 6 seconds to slow 10mph. That is a long time to react. I'm a commercial pilot and I can tell you that 6 seconds is forever!! Sorry, guess we are just agreeing to disagree!
