What I drove into made it impossible to pull over. You can see nothing, not even the road. You just have to follow the two red tail lights in front of you and hope nobody panics. This was an interstate highway so people were driving at least 65 miles an hour. You can't really slow down because somebody could hit you from behind. Scary shit.
