Naturally unsafe drivers will not wait until the salt trucks to drive… One big snow and for the next 3 weeks unsafe people wont be on the road because they will have wrecked. Hence needing their cars to be fixed.

I understand jen, but…they do not put it down unlessthere is water or wet roads to begin with, if the temp is going to drop then they takt the neccesary “precaution” of putting some down b4 it gets too bad for drivers like urself. I personally would rather have salt on the roads to be safe then none at all and dying on a patch of black ice that could of been taking care of by that measly salt that u hate so much. I hate it too but salted roads\>numerous lives lost by black ice,ice and snow covered roads.
