Chicagoland here. We have a pet theory that covid changed how people drive. From where I sit, it is not just semis ( though those will have the biggest impact should something happen ). That said, just yesterday I was dodging ice balls falling from massive semi ( my only real question was how... was it just getting on the road or something? )

Yes UK Hn'er, here... have observed the same. Covid did a number on people's driving sense.

Ice forms on the roof and they need to get up there manually and clear it off and I don't think they do. :)

I was driving the Gaspe coastal road once after an ice storm and we were on the road with a bunch of semis early in the morning. The switchbacks had massive sheets of ice coming off them over the sides. It was wild.

It wasn't so thick that driving over the shattered pieces was an issue but it was a sight to behold and turned a white knuckle drive into a real jaw clencher.

Was there for a family issue and had to be somewhere otherwise I wouldn't have been on the road that day at all, let alone first thing.
