Hello there, How many times have you been driving down the road and there is snow on the ground and people do one of two things. They either come to a complete stop and go 5 mph and it takes them forever to get out of your way. Or they think that their isn’t ANYTHING on the ground and they proceed to go faster than even the speed limit signs suggest.

This happened to me just yesterday and it about costs me my car. I was going down a highway where it is usually 3 lanes but due to the sudden onset of snow it reduced the traffic down to 1-2 lanes worth. Now as I’m driving down the road and yes I have traction control I’m passing up some people and then some people with 4X4 are passing me up which is all well and good until this one lady passes me up in a Outback and goes about her way. Now Outbacks are all wheel drive so they can hold their own….for the most part.. This lady passes me up and goes cruising down the road and decides shes going to change lanes while going roughly 60 mph. Her car on the other hand decided that NOPE! we won’t be doing that sent her into a spin that NASCAR drivers would be jealous of doing. She did two 360’s and then went into the median and did another one there before pulling back onto the road after the pack of cars we were all in passed her up and did yet again another 360!
I’m not saying that I’ve not been a fool when it comes to driving down the road but when I’m around other cars I certainly don’t think “Hey I’ll risk both my car and the cars around me by driving careless”. Just had to throw that out there. Be Careful!
