If "they" and "we" decided to stop using salt we'd get by for sure. Fatal car crash numbers with today's traffic volumes and speeds would go through the roof though. It is what it is. I hate salt on roads too but I'm glad we have it.
The alternative would be to learn to drive on ice. It wasn't necessary to build an infrastructure that favoured long commutes over living near your employment but that is what we have done over the last fifty years. Now we have to try and keep the incompetent safe. Crap. GD
