Frozen roads are not an excuse for causing a crash
With winter weather arriving ahead of the official turn of the season, drivers in Illinois are getting their annual crash course in safe driving on slippery roads. Every winter, precipitation turns the streets and highways from a safe place to travel to a dangerous ice rink for vehicles. No matter how proactive the state may be at clearing the roads, there are always accidents related to inclement weather.
