More likely crashes from ice and debris from the high winds.

I don’t think so. If there’s ice and debris and you are a sober and responsible driver, you slow down so you don’t crash.

I take it you've never been in an accident caused by another driver due to icy, snowy conditions. Because it's happened to me before and I was completely sober and in control of my vehicle... until another driver swerved onto a patch of black ice and rammed into me, totaling my car on the spot.

There's only so much control an individual driver has when you're not the only vehicle on the road.

Sounds like the other driver wasn’t driving responsibly. Glad you’re okay.

Or they hit black ice? Seriously, do you have much experience driving? Legitimate accidents can and do happen every day, despite "driving responsibly."
