I have noticed that when the roads are slick that the number of accidents goes up. Also, most people drive much slower. I think I have figured out the reason for those accidents. It is because when everybody slows down to, say, two thirds as fast then they are in each spot half again as long. That means that the chance of somebody else wanting that same spot at the same time is, well, if both parties are going two thirds of normal speed, then half again the time there (the first driver) times half again the time there (the other driver), two and a quarter times as high as when driving at normal rates. With that settled, the solution is for everybody to drive faster when the roads are slick. If everybody would drive at half again their normal speed then they would only be in each spot for two thirds as long. Now this is with all drivers using this method, so now two thirds times two thirds is four ninths, or less than half as much chance of people trying to be in the same spot at the same time. P.S. When I drove a propane delivery truck for a living, my supervisor seemed bothered by this method.
