  • Killing off dumbasses one storm at a time.

    So, in going out to get some dinner, I saw this little sedan in front of me completely spin out on the snow covered road. He nearly got reamed by a car coming in the other direction because he ended up horizontal on the road. I just stopped, shook my head and waited for them to get it together and head off again.

    At the same damn speed.

    I then proceeded to trail far behind as they spun out again, this time a full 420, then slam into a snow drift.

    I passed them and went on my merry way.

    I had complete control over my car, no slipping or sliding (no, I don't have 4WD, just front wheel, but I know how to drive in snow conditions -.-.) I have no idea how he managed to completely spin out the way he did, and he was older than me by quite a bit.

    I passed him, looking over and the guy looked at me with the most venomous look he could muster while the girl in the passenger seat (g/f? sister? wife? she looked to be about the same age) just looked so freaked out. I felt bad for her.

    It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

          I saw a video last night on one of those Russian car crash compilations. Guy spun out on the ice and wound up facing back the way he'd come from . . . so he drove the next mile or so in reverse, until he got to a place where he could pull off and turn around.

          (YT is blocked here at work, so I can't find the link at the moment.)

            One storm I was on the highway. Only the first two of four lanes were plowed (and I was in a line of cars going about 15-20 MPH with two plows working in tandem at the head of the line of cars).

            The third lane was not plowed but had a set of tire ruts from people with 4WD trucks who had decided to pass the plows and bypass the line of slow cars.

            This middle aged guy in a BMW passes me doing about 50MPH in the ruts in the third lane like some sort of Olympic bobsledder. About ten minutes after he passed me I passed him and his car. The BMW was half buried in the snowbank between the South and North lanes of the highway facing in the wrong direction and the guy was outside on his cell (presumably being told it will be a two hour wait for a tow truck).

            Some people are just really, really stupid.
