  • Dafug are you doing!? AKA Snow makes people stupid(er)

    Going to work. Have to take a left onto another road. I get to the light; it's green with oncoming traffic. With road conditions, I know I can't make the turn in time. Light turns yellow, then red. I back-up because a semi truck is turning right from the other road and needs the room and I had stopped over the white line. I had plenty of room between me and the car behind me to back up. The car behind me swings-out into the right-hand (straight only) lane; I figured they realized they were in the wrong lane. Only...as the truck is completing its turn onto our road, the car now in the right lane, pulls into the intersection and in front of me and turns left on red! The light turned green a few seconds later, and I ended up behind that car as it almost crrawwllleed down the snowy road until it turned into a parking lot.

    Just...wha...why???

    Impatience and stupidity? Perhaps a death wish thrown in for good measure. Either way, that would've been the perfect scenario for a cop to be sitting nearby. Alas, the dumbass got away.

      Impatience is a powerful force. The plows they use on the interstate up here are amazing beasts, with both a front and side blade, each blade bigger than my entire car. They take up two lanes, so even when 2/3 of the side blade is shoving snow up and over the break down lane, about 1/3-2/3 of the oncoming lane is taken up by Death Star plow blade. People will try to blow past them doing 50, or, better yet, try and PASS them in an area that is no pass to begin with. I wonder how many cars they take out every year... I imagine watching it would be akin to watching a speed boat breaking on the bow of an aircraft carrier.
