ikke1959 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Yes indeed with storm last days and the pouring downs... accidents could not be prevented... That is easier than learn to adjust how to drive in all kind of weather conditions.. Probably they did not speed, they kept distance from each other, had good working sweepers on the on window etc etc.. Nothing to blame.. Nature did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
