Default Dumb ass drivers

Ok, we've just had our first signifigant snowfall here, about 5 inches, and of course like clockwork there were about 300 accidents, including 5 fatalities. I of course don't wish harmn to come to anyone, but PUHLEEZE, I could see if it was like L.A and they hadnt seen snow in like 100 years, but every freakin time we get our first snow here this **** happens. Cmon people, driving aint that hard.... ((((SIGH)))))))

Geez...

People around here drive stupid and get in all kinds of nasty accidents when it's raining. I'd hate to see what would happen if we got some of the white stuff.

It was snowing when I was driving home from my mother's on Thanksgiving and I swear I must have driven at fifteen miles an hour the whole way home. I fecking hate driving with a passion, so when it's dark out and snowing, I get freaked out. Plus it was on the Mass Pike with all the tractor trailer trucks running all over the road as if they owned the goddamned thing. Oy vey, I almost **** my pants.

The southern and eastern part of the country had some snow yesterday. It resulted in the longest trafficjam in history, people even spend the night in their cars. Busses and trains weren't running, power went down, you name it.

We don't get a lot of snow here but when we do it's chaos.

Now I live in the north and we had sun........

Worse than the dumbass driver is the dumbass bike rider. I was coming home from Mom's after Thanksgiving dinner around 9:00 in the evening, and there was this kid, wearing a navy hooded sweatshirt and jeans, riding his bike, which had no reflectors whatsoever, on one of the main streets in Dayton. I probably came within an inch of hitting the little bastard. The worst part, though, is that when I swerved, the bungee chords holding my bigger dog's cage came undone, and part of his cage got lodged behind the back seat of my station wagon. This dog is about 8.5yo. He could have really gotten hurt.

What sucks is that you get the people in tiny cars who will go way too slow and the ones in trucks who want to run you over.

I don't mind snow I just mind the other people around...and they are stupid.

But I live in NJ, probably the king of horrible drivers. Everyday I find that I have to honk at someone.

Glad all of you are ok tho with that weather.

Exclamation The dumbest of the dumb...

are those who think the 75MPH Speed Limit on Oklahoma's turnpikes is way too slow, so they pretend that they are driving at the Talladega Speedway and the are on the white flag lap to the finish line.
