Wouldn't it be nice to look into a crystal ball and see the driving conditions before you leave the house?

Well, there is a website that can tell you ALL that stuff. It may not be a crystal ball, but it's still pretty snazzy, and super helpful!

The website lists reported accidents, speed traps, and places where speed has been decreased due to construction, traffic issues, or weather. It is a must-bookmark for anyone traveling this winter.
