Ever get passed by an idiot going too fast and acting like a nut and wonder where the cops are when you need them?
Going through West Virginia, the interstate was partially covered with snow. There were a few slick spots, but it wasn’t too bad. Enough to slow down from the 70 mph speed limit, but not horrible.
I was passed by a truck going a lot faster than I was. We had just passed a wreck where a pickup truck was upside down. A little later coming down a hill that ended in a curve, was the same white truck and trailer jackknifed in the median with the driver standing next to a State Trooper.
Thankfully there wasn’t anyone else involved. It looked bad enough that his load is screwed and he’s going to be down for awhile. One less idiot on the road.

1I do wonder that! It sounds like the State Trooper got there too late to save that guy from himself.
