WINTER DRIVING RANT

Why is it that Michigan drivers, who should know better, cannot drive in bad weather? News Flash! You cannot go the speed limit with a couple inches of snow over black ice. Your first clue would be meeting the back end of your car as you naively believe you are moving forward. Not natural - get a clue.

I am the innocent bystander cautiously feeling my way, testing my brakes and providing room between me and the one in front. Which obviously means to those in back of me that I AM NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH. Thus they now need to educate me by climbing on my bumper and staying there. I believe I should charge rent for carrying said freeloaders. I smile benignly as they race around me at the earliest opportunity. No wait, I smile benignly as we meet up later at their ditch of choice. Much more satisfying than wearing out that middle finger as I need both hands for the wheel.
