    Can someone tell where this place is that everyone drives perfectly on snow and ice? Where there are never any crashes, and no road rage.

    don't know about utopia but I'd venture snow country drivers are a little better than southerners and middle aged drivers are better than youngsters. And everybody is better than Texan drivers...

    I’m sure their better in snow country, that’s why the weather channel has several programs about truck wreck recovery.
    But you want to see a show, watch one of the Houston tv stations online Monday morning, 15 degrees and rain, should be wild.

    Sorry haven't watched tv since 2002 lol is that available on Hulu?
    But seriously my point is .... Driving is dangerous and kills lots of people both innocent and reckless. And only everyone taking it more seriously along with finding ways to facilitate more public transport for the masses will make it any better.
    There is no driving utopia just as there is no political utopia.

    So what was your point?

    I just made a routine trip to Walmart north of Ft Worth and everyone in 5 counties is buying the place out. I’m just wanted to walk right back out. Lines longer that the toilet paper rush.

    Listen sweetheart. It aint the Texans, its the gd Commiefornian transplants. 80+mph everywhere like the #### highways are racetracks.

    I ran all over up in N Tx this last week and didnt have an issue. As did my buddy who's spent a bunch of time driving in the snow/ice over the years.

    I was going to call you after I saw that to make sure you hadn’t ventured out that morning.

    It’s one of the perks of your/our position - you watch the weather and decide accordingly.
