In an argument with a few guys at the office. Whose is responsible in this scenario? Person who caused accident or the municipality for the black ice on the road??

Well, you are racist for blaming black ice and not the white ice.

You think every time there is black ice on a road in Denver the city covers the costs for all the accidents? What do you think your insurance is for? This is a retarded question.

You’re responsible for driving safely in the conditions. If those conditions include the possibility of ice on the roads, it’s on you to navigate them accordingly.

Blaming the municipality is a very 2024 thing to do though. No one wants to take personal responsibility.

Very.

In what world would the driver not be responsible?

You think someone can be held accountable for water freezing?

The driver who failed to maintain control of their vehicle. Same as it is in rainy conditions, dumbass.

They'd have to have evidence that the exact stretch of road is the location of more accidents than any other stretch of that roadway. Then they'd have to prove the spot is holding water(dip in the road) and creating dangerous ice patches and so on. blah blah blah

Down here we've seen scenarios where the heat caused a buckle in the road and it caused multiple wrecks/damaged vehicles b/c they didn't put signs or barricades around the area. The city/parish was held accountable.

Black ice, while only being about 14% of total ice, causes over 50% of the car crashes
