    I'm home with a flat tire.I don't mind watching videos if they re worth watching which yours are not. why do u always have to make such useless videos blaming others when you know as well as I do you're just looking for attention maybe cause you're bored.this car did not do a uturn looks like he slid due to the icy conditions.things like that happen.like you've never done anything while driving.wonder what your next video will be maybe a semi passing you and decides to get over in your lane a mile down the road and you think that's too soon so You make a video on it.what is your point to posting these videos?

    so motorist wants to pass you,what are they suppose to do stay behind you because that area of the interstate is clear? What I see with All your videos it's all about you and drivers should follow your lead.if a cop seen you driving on the zipper like you did here,hes going to pull you over,maybe chew you out then give you a ticket.snowplow are not going to scrap the center of the road like you claim he did here.if someone would have tried to pass you and ended up in the ditch then guess what it would have been your fault for hogging the road.you need to stay in your lane.

    No one was behind me trying to get around. Even if they tried they wouldn't the road was too slick everyone kept a huge following distance. I was going about 42 miles an hour there.

    How do you explain the exposed road in the zipper area? The lanes were plowed properly leading up to that point then the plowed area is showing inthe middle of the road. Snow plows will do this to get vehicles to plant each side of their vehicle on the opposing crowns of the road, in other words to level up the traffic and decrease chances of sliding off into the either the ditch or the median. Surprised by the responses here from veteran drivers who are clueless to that fact.


    It would have been their fault for running on the tilted road (crown). If I get over I am in as much danger of sliding off as they are so yes I am protecting people by showing them the proper lane placement.

    i went to Marine Corps Motor Transport School in Camp Pendleton 30 years ago this summer. I will put my driving skills up against anyone here. Go drive in a combat scenario with your rifle hanging out he driver window then come back and talk to me.

    I saw the guy turned the wrong way in the median and immediately turned on the 4 ways and slowed way down. I guess the guy thought I was going to dead stop right there on the freeway for him that's why he chose to execute his slow uturn right then. So he gets in the slow lane and I make prep to go to the passing lane but it is really greasy out there. So I stayed where I was expecting this guy to pick up speed and I could fall right in like nothing doing but he decided to slow almost to a stop in the travel lanes. Only at the last minute did the moron get back off the hardball.

    the plow cleared both sides to begin with.if you'll notice the road was very patchy which was caused from blowing snow.if the plow was meant to clear only the middle then the road would have been evenly cleared.you kept moving over wherever you seen cement.
