Thank you for the story headlined, “Icy roads…” on Page One, March 11.

This story deserves praise because it places the responsibility for vehicle crashes exactly where it belongs: squarely in the hands of the drivers.

By finding a state police source to quote, you avoided the delicate problem of having the newspaper offend a large number of advertisers and readers. Perhaps it is time to take a firmer stand on the responsibility for vehicle crashes. Robert B. Virtue Orono
