Horrific.  Reminds me of driving in near white-out blizzard conditions of the Sierras on Interstate 80 recently during record storms -- I'm an AWD vehicle with studded snow tires doing 20-25 mph (the limit of reflex time, visibility and traction on snow covered asphalt at the time) being passed by cars at twice my speed.  Sure enough, on the downhill section, a minor fender bender escalated in a 40 car pile-up with one person killed after getting out of his car (which I learned about in the news after arriving safely.)

It's annoying when the Darwin Award contenders do things that bring other people into their sphere of failure.
