No Surprise

Makes you wonder what people are thinking. Drove from Red Deer to Calgary today, no roll overs but with the wind blowing it was obvious that there were ice patches and people still passing me @ 130 km/hr.
Watched a truck flip 200 m in front of me two weeks ago and still no one slowed down.
Is it a big surprise that insurance rates just keep climbing?

Roll overs

Yea, I couldn't believe it myself PowPow. Had a meeting in Leduc and they had said there were rollover on the highway but I thought they were stretching the truth a bit...NOT!!

2 cars and 1 truck in the ditch this morning (1 car on its side with the roof caved in) between Whitecourt and Hwy 32 (7 Km stretch) People cannot drive.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a common thread in these pictures; quite a few small SUV's upside down. I'm guessing that the false sense of security is inflating their ego's a little too much...

4 X 4 Ditched

I agree, most of them were 4X4 Trucks or SUV's. I missed one that was a SUV that had rolled and was pretty messed up.
I thought it was fairly amazing that so many were "Wheels Up".
I know it's not sledding but it is funny and I hope everyone enjoys them!!!

that all started around 5:20am, CISN was already reporting roll overs on the QE2 between Nisku and Leduc

Those types of vehicals have a short wheel base and are top heavy,People think they are good cause they are 4wheel drive when in all reality their horrible on icy roads.
