Dear Southern Drivers,
Okay, it's that time of year again. The time of year when the words "snow" and "ice" panic you all so much that you run to the grocery stores and clear out the milk and bread and then speed merrily home or to work or grandma's or the mall. And every year you wreck and seem surprised because OMG THE ROAD WAS SLICK!!!711!
Dudes. Bridges ice over before roads. Wanna know how I know? BECAUSE THE ROAD SIGNS SAY IT! They don't have the damn things up for no reason!
Also? Giant fog banks mean brake before you get to them, when people can see you. Don't brake in the middle of them. Yes, giant fog banks are frightening when they pop up like that. But it was a giant fog bank! You could see it for a mile!
(This rant brought to you by southern drivers, ice, fog, and the 11 car pile up on Hwy 220 North that slowed down my morning commute.)
