I occasionally drive into Indian or Michigan for work for a couple days and notice the daily increases when I come back in on the Skyway.
Figures statewide, nation numbers are WAY higher, I looked. Still crazy. I pass one on the way to work everyday.

Unfortunately that board doesn't scare anyone on the Skyway - it's insane the way they drive there.

Road conditions as you can see on the video were not ideal to say the least. We don't know why the young fellow was on the road during such unfavorable road conditions ... Perhaps he was on his way to see a family member in a difficult situation, we certainly don't know the circumstances until they are published.

Very tragic indeed when something like this happens, especially on the autobahn.

May they all rest in piece
Well said, Rolf. I know for a fact that it takes 3 years to get a fully-qualified license in Finland, for example.

RIP to those that have passed on. This is truly terrible.
