Traffic Problems...Who's At Fault?

Chuck Roads does a great job keeping us up to date on traffic problems...and this morning, there were plenty. The streets were wet...and that always means trouble in Charlotte.

Here's the question I have...are most accidents unavoidable and just can't be prevented?

There were at least three accidents along I-85 south this morning that created some incredible backups and slow downs. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people were affected. Were those accidents unavoidable...or were they caused by drivers who weren't paying attention...or going too fast for conditions...or otherwise weren't focused on being safe drivers?

Just the other day...I got caught up in a terrible backup on I-85. Took me three times longer to get home from work. Turns out it was caused by a driver who was following too close...and hit the guy in front of him. That caused a huge traffic backup. All because some idiot can't drive!

Is anyone getting as fed up as I am over drivers who needlessly create major traffic problems? What can be done about it? Any ideas out there?
