Snow Driving

So we got dumped on again with more snow and it amazes me at the stupidity of the drivers around here. You would think years of practice would get them to drive better but I guess not.

There are three kinds of drivers:

A) Those who drive too fast and slip and slide all over the place. These are the people who end up in ditches and telephone polls or go careening into other cars while trying to make a turn. I saw a vehicle in a snow bank, a 4WD SUV no less. Stupid fucking idiot.

B) Those who drive too slow. They ride their brakes and slip and slide every time they do. It also causes those behind them to have to do the same thing or run into the back of them. I saw an accident where someone backsided someone else tapping their brakes too much. Stupid fucking idiot.

C) Then there is the rest of us. We know that by changing acceleration quickly (braking is negative acceleration) it will cause slipping and sliding and most likely cause an accident. Using a constant velocity will dramatically decrease your chance of an accident. Go us!

The problem really is there are more of those other types then sensible drivers. They are the ones you hear causing the 20-40 car pile-up on the highway. Or they are the ones found in a ditch and stretches AAA and emergency crews abilities to the limits.

So avoid driving in shitty conditions if possible, and if not then be aware of the stupid fucking idiots trying to get there as fast as possible or the ones who are hitting their brakes way too often.
