Yes, but are you aware of the New York State "Clear Road" policy? It is rediculous, but . . . the State requires all attempts be made so any road, any time - can be driven on at normal speeds - regardless of weather.
This has resulted in people suing and blaming the varioius highway departments and governments every time they drive like idiots, slide on some ice, and crash.
There is no end in sight. The way I see it, most people drive at their own perceived risk level. If they come to believe roads are going to be safe all the time, they drive like drooling, blind, one-legged monkeys - even in snowstorms.
