Yea like those idiots who want to play "hero" and stop for the most minor accident to see if the person is okay

At the beginning of the video all the cars were going a slow safe speed for the conditions and it is obvious since there wasn't already a crash it had been going that way since the storm began ... then the speed demons came ... What did their big hurry get them?? Do people not see any farther than the front of their hood? Hey, there seem to be a lot of brake lights ahead .. I better slow down ...

I totally agree how there were too many people going way to fast, and they were increadably dumb to get out of their cars and wander around, looking a lot like a bowling alley commercial showing an ace pronging a 7-10 split.

One think I'd not seen noted yet.
If you have to stop your car in traffic, OPEN THE TRUNK. It will make your car much easier to see, (especially at night if you have an interior light), and it will also make it MUCH more obvious that there's something wrong.
Flashers are good too, but many people drive down the road with their flasher on. An open trunk = a stopped car, even if seen from 1/2 mile away.

... and if someone crashes into the back and kills you, you won't see it coming.
