Seriously. Ever get caught in a whiteout? More than once and even driving through a mountain pass at night. I've also driven a Deuce and a Half during the height of Hurricane Camille from Kessler AFB Biloxi to Pascagola Litton Shipyard where I couldn't see much beyond the hood of the truck in driving rain and wind. Never stopped to clean my windshield and wipers in the middle of the road. Wouldn't think of it myself. I've encountered drivers backing up on the highway, too, into oncoming traffic. One problem with a true whiteout is a question of where do you stop if you have to? I remember hearing of a woman who had stopped and gotten out of her car during a whiteout in the Champaign-Urbana area. She was subsequently hit and killed by a truck. If a driver of a vehicle can't tell where he or she is driving during a whiteout, should a driver stop the vehicle? First auto accident I was in while driving was when with a learners permit, late at night coming back from the Grandparents farm and my mom screams, I jam on the brakes and come to a stop, where a guy backing up in the middle land of the freeway, backs in to the bumper. No damage luckily. |
