    Default I really hate stupid and impatient people in winter storm driving

    Took nearly two hours to get home in what would normally have been less than half an hour. Okay, I figured it would take longer because of the snowfall but ...

    I just love idiots who think they're special cutting around the line of cars going up a snow-packed hill. I understand the Hummer being impatient with all the dumbasses getting themselves stuck but he's not helping anything by racing around and taking up maneuvering room. At least the Hummer had 4WD and a decent engine -- the Minis and 2-door coupes (or better yet the 2WD oversize pickup -- seriously, WTF drives a 2WD pickup in Colorado, especially in a snowstorm?) leapfrogging to get in front of me only to get stuck and fishtail through two lanes up the hill .... bah!

    Stupid people should move back to CA or NY or NJ or some place where they'd be the norm! Odd thing was, I couldn't see an Obama sticker on a single one of the arses.

    We have since 75. Never an issue. it's how you drive not what you drive. My ol lady has passed numerous 4x's in ditches as she cruises by them. She also knows what the other letters on the gear selector mean and how to use them instead of brakes in shitty weather.

    They were probably too busy smoking a joint! dude..........is it me or really slippery???????????

    I know where you are coming from. I drive an average of 4800 miles per month. People like that used to make me mad as hell. Anymore I just laugh and like you said you expect to see them crashed somewhere up the road.
    Stupidest thing I saw was of La Veta pass. Guy in a big 4 WD truck going up the pass hit a deer. Totally obliterated the deer, just a total red mist in front of the truck, body parts everywhere. The guy didn't even slow down.

    Good one.

    I watched all kinds careless driving tonight on I-25 north. More than a few accidents, people drive too fast, don't account for ice on bridges etc.

    I always get frustrated by the people who drive excessively slow when we get a little dusting of snow. 20mph in a 55 zone is probably not appropriate when we got .5 inch of snow...

    Then again, I grew up in a state that actually gets real snow.. and it's wet and heavy and slippery and actually more dangerous to drive in because of the road conditions, not because of stupid drivers on the road.

    It IS bad out there, though tonight. Very slippery underneath the snow. Took 1.5+ hours to pick up my daughter from youth group tonight!! Any road with a 'hill (or bump)' in it was like a parking lot. Overturned car on Austin Bluffs 'hill' shut down that road for quite a while.

    I'm from the snow belt of NY state, so I know how to drive in this mess, it's the other crazies that scare me...
