Think before hitting the road and don't risk driving around the barriers of closed highways -- that's the advice from RCMP who received hundreds of distress calls from motorists stranded in this weekend's blizzard. Five to 10 centimetres of snow was forecast with winds expected to reach up to 70 to 80 km/h with as low as - 18 C.

I was sitting inside VIRTTEX, at Ford's Scientific Research Laboratory located in Dearborn, Michigan. VIRTTEX is the acronym for VIRtual Test Track EXperiment, a virtual reality machine that simulates a typical drive down the highway. This isn't a high tech video game for racecar fans.

I've always been worried that drivers have so much else on their minds that they'll forget to call out my stop. It really gives me a lot more control if they announce them.
