We'll usually have a bunch of cars stack up around town and on the interstates the first time it's dropped below freezing with a little rain. People here forget about the bridges freezing. someone gets to the end of a bridge, slams on there brakes and stacks up the cars behind them They don't stop to think about them slowing suddenly while the cars behind them are on ice

Course when we get winter weather we end up with around 3" of ice before the snow sticks. That creates a whole new mess to deal with.

Sent chills down my spine.
We get heavy snowfalls around here, nobody wants to slow down.
A few years back there was an ice storm that took a few lives.
I couldnt idle down highway and keep it straight. No way i could drive
50 miles to work.
Highways department wouldnt even go out.
Imagine sanding trucks driving backwards in order to stay in road, sanding in reverse.

My biggest piss off is 3 snowflakes and everybody forgets how to drive.

Can you imagine surviving being rammed by a semi and ejected across two lanes of freeway, landing unconscious, only to be run over by a jackwagon pulling a trailer who didn't slow down and lost control of his rig and went off the highway and killed you?

I hope every one of these idiot drivers wears the scars of what "might have been" for the rest of their days.
