>A coworker of mine had the same experience on I95. There was a tractor trailer accident ahead and he was the last one in line stopped. A lady was tootling along not paying attention and had to drive into the ditch to avoid rear-ending him. He was never hit. Then of course, there were even more accidents following that one.

Some time in '99 or 00, our neighbor got a new Jetta. It lasted about two weeks, when the snow fell and there was a 200 car pileup on I-64. The first one was somewhat distracted, the others didn't know how to drive on fresh snow.
