Why don't they grit the highway or drive slower ?

100 car pile up due to ice on the American highway, 6 dead

Why don't they just drive slower in such obvious cold conditions or grit the road like they do here ?

I'm glad we don't get such horrific crashes here in the UK, are we just better drivers ?

It's crazy when you see footage of some of these pileups. Not sure if appropriate for the forum, some swearing. Can delete if needed.

I was going to post this one too

Is another good example, it seems it is pretty common in the states for these pile ups but it's no surprise given the speed people are driving in such conditions, you would think they would learn to drive slower
