Reply to comment by gypsy611 in Please drive SLOW in the snow by WhaleDinosaurDog
Seriously. I was returning home after a 12 hour shift in snow after the last big snowstorm. Going 45 on a curvy 50 mph road. I was going slow half from snow, half from fatigue. The amount of lifted truck road rage aimed at me was scary for a 3 mile drive. I guess the world has just changed, but it makes me sad.
I grew up in the county, and I still remember how patient that other drivers were the first year I got my licence and was really nervous in snowstorms. Like I was part of a community and we cared about each other or something.

It makes me sad, too. So many of the comments on this thread really got to me. It was so bad that I took the insensitive advice of the people on this thread and got off the road. I was afraid, not because of the weather, but because of the way they were driving in that weather. And myself and my son sat in a parking lot in the middle of nowhere as it snowed and he cried. So, that few minutes that they all think is so important that they have to drive like idiots cause “they know how to drive in snow” actually cost me hours of sitting and waiting because I didn’t want to be on the road with them. Now, that’s sad. But people just don’t care anymore….about anything…. Especially when it comes to others. So, here we are.
