****en Drivers in the Norhtern IL

Thats why I love living in the country. We don't have plows in our town so most people can handle driving in these conditions better than most.

i was in sugar grove yesterday. Right across the street from that new water park, at a friends business.

Same crap happened to me a month or so ago. From my work in orland park to my house, my top speed was 30 mph, and that was on I-80.

Another day I got stuck behind some broad doing 45 mph in the left lane on I-80. It was barely snowing. Everyone who drove past her were giving her the finger. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

and i'm sorry if you can't handle driving your car through an inch of snow then you shouldn't be out. People just don't even go out and learn how to handle there vehicals anymore or learn there own limitations. not to mention most evert one in the area has grown up here and it snows every year, LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH THE CONDITIONS. theres a difference from being cautious and just being dumb

indeed. these people can easily cause a wreck more than someone who is driving a reasonable speed for conditions

if its nasty maybe a few mph slower NOT 40 less though

Happens everywhere first time it snows.
In Syracuse (one of the top 5 snowiest cities in the country) people forget how to drive when it snows, especially the first time. I can't stand it. I'm a very good driver in snow largely because I understand physics very well, and I love driving in the snow for some reason.

Same with Rochester, another extremely snowy city in NY. I can only imagine what Vegas was like when they got that snow a few weeks ago.

This isn't the first snow of the season, its snowed probably a dozen times already we have had snow on the ground for the last month. for sure if it was the first time a flake has fallen for the season i can excuse some hesitation on the roads.

well off to lunch, I'm going to go grab the shot gun first. I might need to help someone learn how to drive.

I thought driving in Chicago was bad enough in the summer. Why do you want to go so fast? As soon as you get up to speed you have to stop for another ****ing toll booth.

Some Billy badass in his truck here passed me like I was impeding traffic, and when he cut back into the lane he spun out and went up into the median. My little Saturn just kept sputtering down the road as homepickle was trying to get out of the median. I waved to him.
