People are always racing to cut others off on this ramp. They don’t get over cause they want to get one more car ahead and end up cutting in at the last moment…. good grief… is it worth causing an accident for???
one person says you need to slow down,,,,,people are not smart enough to slow down,,and their not smart enough to keep the nose of their car out of the rear of the car in front of them wait till the first snow,, you have not seen anything yet
This makes about half a dozen accidents that I’ve read about today that occurred on I70 and I71. The rain is obviously causing problems and drivers are ignoring the obvious. When it rains, you slow down. Especially if your as big as a truck and trailer. These drivers are hydroplaning because they aren’t slowing down. You should not go 70 mph when it’s been raining like it has here for the past 24 hours! Slow down, people. Leave earlier and pay attention to the other drivers around you!
