Here is the thing about today in DFW, there was freezing rain but everything was melting on contact so you cautiously go over a few elevated sections and no ice so you stop being cautious and then boom, one section has ice and you're screwed. It wasn't like there was ice everywhere and you just kept going fast.

Do they not drop salt on roads in conditions like that?

It's crazy how many people don't understand this. Nobody is going to go well under the speed limit if there is a possibility of ice but none around. Especially on an interstate with every car flying around you.

My truck gives me an ice warning every time it's below freezing, that doesn't mean I drive everywhere that day like I'm on an ice covered surface
