Is it just me or did people forget how to drive in the snow?

no joke, i watched someone in a honda civic lock up their brakes, go across someones front yard and over a 6ft stone wall into the persons driveway.


people don't know how to drive. period.

I just started a new job this week. In my job description I have to pick up employee's during winter storms! BAM! Qualified snow driver.

New Job is maintenance mechanic.

someone came to pickup my old leafs and shackles a few hours ago. i watched him spin out around my corner almost smashing into my neibors new porche

just went out...took me an hour and half to go what usually takes 5 minutes...traffic in every direction on every main and back road.
i don't understand.

no snow here

4wd or awd doesn't make you bulletproof or make it easier to stop, it only makes it mildly easier to stay moving in the direction you want. People take it as carte blanche to drive like aholes in the snow.

[Zullock Holmes]

we're qualified to drive in the snow from our experience driving in offroad conditions and not driving like frilly-nancy little school girls

real men use trees to stop and curbs to turn.

Yup, got on I95 at exit 19, took me a half hour to get to exit 18.

I'm so happy this snow is here, you have no idea.

it could be worse. you would not believe how many people came in today for last minute "hey its snowing out i need tires". We sold over $9000 in tires today people are dumb. the highway was grid locked due to a crash , lucky me i stuck to the main road to my home from work

I drive super slow in the snow. I don't feel like dying. I assume that means I'm a bad snow driver due to that fact that I drive with cautiously.

There are obviously bad drivers out there in general (speeding, reckless, yadda yadda) and as much as I would hate to agree with Will, (and believe me, I hate it) I don't really understand how people can bitch about others being poor drivers when road conditions and weather are generally unpredictable at any given time.

I was actually referring to those people that refuse to slow down in inclement weather...

Had to drive down to New Haven right as the snow started, and I lost count of how many people were in ditches on the side of the road, or stuck in the middle of the road facing the wrong way because they had spun out.
