I was hoping not to have to say it again....but yes people are driving way too fast for conditions. And way too close to each other. Leave early and drive for conditions. It’s pretty simple. Also please watch out for us, salt trucks and courtesy vans. Drivers have hit all three. pic.twitter.com/7Bbufc41vy
