well it's a known fact Cali drivers do not know how to driver in conditions other then sunny skies and dry roads.

There is a video on Youtube of a very bad crash in southern California wherea motorcycle cop gets ran over and killed.Which the people just kept coming and wouldn't stop. And those who do avoid the carnage just keep on going like nothing happened. That includes people yelling at cars and waving their hands on the side of the road hoping to stop other cars from going but I guess everyone was stuck up their own *** to stop.
I hate people in cars.

That's awful. "Sudden" Fog is a different animal and doesn't have much to did with how well you drive or don't drive other than the fact that most people drive too fast for conditions.
Not to jack the thread but they did exhaustive research after the I-75 125 pile up back in 2002 in the Chattanooga area that's notorious for sudden fog and found a multitude of reasons besides just bad driving that caused it (factors such as rivers and factory pollution contributed) ... imagine you're driving normal under clear skies and everything is all good and then bam, you come over a hill and can't see your hand in front of you (happens quite often on that stretch) .. not much your driving skills can do for you at that point because you slow down and the person behind you slams into you; you keep steady and you're going to hit whatever is in front of you that you can't see.

I agree. People, save the couple that pay attention, can not drive if their life depended on it.
My Stats:
5 years driving.
6 car accident, 3 motorcycle accidents.
0 with me at fault.
Some people from around the world would not believe it, but you gotta come and see it. People will try to take your spot on the road and act like you should get out of their way, like that piece of road is righteously theirs. Most incredible thing anyone could see.
I think dane cook says it best when you get out of your car after getting rear ended and the person that caused the accident yells at you "why did you stop at that red light and let me hit you doing 80?!?"
