I saw someone get T-boned at Boulevard and Robin Hood this morning. Was watching this newer Accord going through the intersection and out of nowhere some idiot in a Cherokee went to stop to make a right turn at the light, apparently he forgot it was bad conditions and went right into the intersection at like 20mph and nailed the guy in the Accord.

News was reporting about 220ish accidents in the Richmond area before I left to go into work.

The thing that most of those morons don't realize is that 4wd doesn't mean anything when your trying to stop. So they continue to drive 60mph in a 45, then when they hit the breaks they just start sliding.

I almost got t-boned today leaving a gas station cuz some douche bag suv doesn't know how to use headlights in snow, where I was at you couldn't really see more than a couple hundred feet maybe and snow was on the road.

yeah, I had to roll up the windows yesterday; its chilly when the temp drops down to 65 during the day...with sun.

Oh, but on a lighter note, it did rain yesterday and most of last night. I had to slow down...to 75.

I know I piss people off in my area. Damn rednecks around here see one drop of snow and they are doing 25mph in a 55. I just pass by them at a controlled speed not to scare them but I know they are saying you can't pass me in snow.

some fucktard in a civic locked his brakes up and turned TOWARDS me this morning on a straight, no turns. if i didnt pull the ebrake and slide a little he would have nailed my quarter panel. saw 6 SUV's, just SUV's, stuck within 5min of leaving my house. they blocked my way to work for a good hour, dumbasses all over VA! just comin back home on my lunch break, people are still doing fucking 20mph. its just wet pavement now, grow some balls. /rant

And it's FWD.

If you want driver that can handle inclement weather, merge, do the speed limit or above and use turn signals... try the midwest. Detroit area and 80% of OH drivers know what's up.
