That Light was Yellow a Minute Ago, I'm Sure

I thought about naming this rant "People on "Ludes" should not drive, Man!. Either way, these are both famous quotes from Jeff Spiccoli when he attended Ridgemont High School back in the 80's.

Atlanta traffic is always bad, but add some sleet and snow and you have 1,000 accidents waiting to happen. In regular weather, people are willing to throw caution to the wind and use their vehicle to almost die everyday. I do my best to avoid them, but I am one of those guys that uses my horn often and flip the bird to people that truely deserve it. I feel that this gives me a pinch of satisfaction that I let them know that I do not want to die today, so please don't do that again.

Add about a 1/4 inch of snow and all Hell breaks loose. Get that bread and milk before its gone. Get that booze, diapers, bottled water and propane too. Try and find some firewood if you can.

If you are an asshole, drive through the snow with your SUV and wreck into somebody else, all because you are an asshole. Tailgate people like you never have before. Go really fast through the yellow/red light with ice under your tire. Get mad at the car in front of you for slowing down and just ram into the back of them at the stop sign. Get yourself killed and block traffic for hours just because you can.

If you can't drive slower during sleet storms, then please just stay home. Its funny to watch you wreck on the bridges, but not funny if you run into me. Leave the Superman suit at home and be careful or don't leave the house. An SUV is not a free hall pass to normalcy in the snow. You too need to watch out for people like you.
