  2. The jabronis who space out behind that idiot and make impossible to pass

  3. The i'M bElOw ThE sPeEd LiMiT fool in the middle of the line with the flashers going

  4. The smarmy safe drivers who are gonna flood this thread scolding us as unsafe

    I’m paid hourly so the second wet stuff falls I’m going 20 under the speed limit with my flashers on.
    Gotta milk those overtime hours.

    The thing about winter operation I've learned is it's all different.
    Type of snow, type of roadbed, traffic volume etc dictate my speeds.
    And experience is the only teacher that allows you to recognize it before it's too late.
    I sometimes get exasperated with younger drivers but try to remember I tiptoed at one time too.
    And remember you can only go too fast one time.
    I forgot the number but once you exceed that angle of jack knife you cannot and will not recover.
    After 51 winters I was supposed to be done by now, retired without an accident. But a miscalculation on HSA contributions and Medicare rules has me still working. Already had 4 or 5 storms or snow events.
    Can't wad one up at this point.
    I actually like snow driving but now they close the roads up north and am forced to run backroads.
    Just remember to drive safe enough to tell the tale.

    Down in Tejas we don’t get the snow. We get the ice. Bad ice. So we just parked those days. So even tho i’ve been driving trucks for over 40 years i’d be one of those jabronis. Lol.
