Winter Driving
So, the only reason I absolutely hate winter is because I hate driving in snow and ice. And today, with the first real snow storm of the year I remembered that it was more than the dangerous road conditions that inspires this hatred. It is also the people. People who live in Idaho were either raised here or moved here from somewhere with a like climate. People do not move here from Arizona or California without any ties being here very often. With that being the case, every driver in Idaho has driven in snow before (we aren't talking about new drivers here). However, on the day of the first snow you would think drivers had never even heard of snow before. People go twenty mph, spin-out in a panic induced by a snowflake, and do not turn their lights on. Out of all of these I find the lights the most annoying. Though I suppose there is also the flip-side with the big trucks that think they are indestructable and leave their lights off while going 12o. Either way driving in the winter sucks. And it gets even worse when the roads get dangerous without the drivers. But today I think it was mainly the dumb ass drivers making it dangerous. And I am not all that great of a driver so I may be a hypocrite, but I have a blog that no one reads, so I feel that I can take liberties.
