This is the penalty I pay for living in a northern state. What's that, you ask? The annual ritual of flaky white stuff falling from the sky and everyone suddenly forgetting how to drive, that's what. Listen people. We have been through this before. This is not the first time in your entire lives you've seen snow, OK? Let's use a little common sense and not drive with our asses.
I heard a guy on the radio earlier today say "They shouldn't call it snow, they should call it stupid powder--because it turns everyone into a complete moron." Sir I do not know your name but if I ever meet you I'm buying you a beer. Comedy gold, that.
Look, driving in the white stuff isn't really all that hard. You just need to take your time and use a little common sense. Of course it also helps if you've got some good snow tires, but they won't save your ass from being an idiot.
What we have here on the road is every bad driving habit amplified to 11 and combined in one massive crap sandwich. Idiots driving too fast. Morons driving too slow. Txters weaving in and out of traffic. Weeaboos in Imprezas and Evolutions flying down the road like they're Ken freakin' Block.
LEARN HOW TO DRIVE, YOU ASS-BRAINS!
I hate to break it to you, but it's not just you. I think it's winter driving.
ReplyDeleteGet a little rain and fog out here, and suddenly it's like half the drivers in California have been lobotomized
Hehehe... one common phrase over here is "winter surprised the drivers" since it tends to happen every year to some extent, regardless of this fabled "winter" thing happening every year. =P
ReplyDeleteAlso, speaking of weeaboos, just yesterday I saw this outwardly tweaked out 2000-something model BMW which had really booming exhaust noises (think of hole in the exhaust kind of noise). Might have been impressive, if he hadn't been missing the entire front bumper and if the car itself hadn't had only one straw-like tailpipe on the left. =P Toyota Corolla tuning of the 21st century...
Agreed... they should come out with a special "all weather" drivers license, and take it away and give you a "sunny weather only" license the first time you get caught for doing something stupid in the rain/snow. Californians do not know how to drive in the rain...
