Speeder doing 70-75 m.p.h. on ice after a U.P. winter storm

This is a video I shot while driving to class in Escanaba, MI. Just as I began filming, a speed demon (apparently with his/her pants on fire or something) literally blows by me doing 70-75 m.p.h. on an ice covered road the day after the BIG SNOW we had on December 9th, 2009. Not a good thing to do!!!!! This road (M-67 between Chatham and Trenary, MI) has a speed limit of 55 m.p.h. Also wanted to show what the road conditions were like after the first big snow of the season.

I do RickInish.....doing 70-75 miles per hour on ice after a snowstorm is foolhardy. You are putting your life in jeopardy as well as other people on the road. I knew a person who lost his life driving like that. He lost control, slid off the highway and wrapped hos car around a tree which killed him instantly.

If it's a Yooper they may be all right or lucky,

I'm of the opinion in the U.P. they drive fast in the winter wether ther'ye good at it or not.

even if you're late to work, that is crazy fast in those conditions.

I see nothing wrong with this.

Well I sure wouldn't be going even 50 on a road like that!
