It seems that many drivers just can’t handle highway 20 for some reason. Speed, crossing over the double yellow lines, passing on blind corners, driving intoxicated, etc. Just take your time and be careful as it is not the highways fault you crash.
The light gas efficient cars aren’t safe in winter conditions.
Slowing down and having a reasonable amount of skill and common sense go a long way. I recently drove my Hyundai thru near whiteout conditions at Flagstaff, i was white knuckling it. But I made it
Or going over 40 in the rain through there. If they flew to literal pieces, I’d say their speed was north of 40.
They are not safe period!
It is okay not to be the fastest on the road. Driving a tiny bit slower only delays you a few minutes. Talking to you your insurance company seems like an eternity.
