When the first snow of the year arrives, if at all possible, I stay home! It's a fact that none of us are used to driving in the snow and especially on ice after a long break. I'm not afraid of driving in the snow, but I am afraid of the people who "think" they know how to drive in it. Yesterday, we were on the freeway and saw a huge sign on the side of the road warning of black ice. Most of the cars slowed down, yet we watched as a car or two continued to speed past us as if they were on dry roads. It wasn't but a couple of minutes later when we saw one of these cars on the side of the road where he had done a donut. He was lucky that no one was too close, because he didn't hit anyone or wreck his car. As we continued on we came to several police cars on both sides of the freeway and cars every-which-way also on both sides. I felt so bad for these poor people! Whether we are innocent bystanders or the ones who caused the wrecks, it is very sad.
If ALL of us could just remember to slow down and drive carefully, then we would all arrive home safely.
