winter driveing

[bobsledder]

I was driveing our semi yesterday and there was a snowstorm in the town I was delivering to. I pull 2 trailers and slick roads require slow speed and careful planing of starts and stops. Another semi (1 trailer) passed me and 18 seconds later turned off the road. I know this because I counted the time, I thought he might do this. I thought HOW RUDE!, just glad he did'nt wreck us both out. Now I feal better!

Oh I hear you on that, my husband pulls doubles and boy does he have some stories! I give you guys tons of credit for doing what you do. Drive careful and stay safe!

Do we really want to talk about the stupid people that can't/should not be allowed to drive in winter?

Ok you got me started.....yesterday in MN we received a couple inches of snow, the majority of the highways where just wet (early this morning before the freezing rain started). One car in the left lane going about 40-45 miles an hr and another one in the right lane going a few miles an hr slower. I finally get around them and I am on my way but the person in the left lane never moved over.

If your not comfortable driving in the conditions that's fine but get in the right lane and stay there, don't block traffic in the left!

ok deep breath........

My biggest pet peave on the roads today.

As Slow As You Want In The Right Lane =====>

There is a reason WI has those "Slower Traffic Keep Right" signs.

You want to see people with complete disregard when it is snowing you should try driving a municiple plow truck. People always let you know you are in the way than complain when they get stuck.

This winter seems to have stirred up all the crappy drivers in Wisconsin. I've never seen a car in the ditch on 41 until this year. And as far as people going slow in the fast lane with snow covered roads, Wisco is definitely the worst! 41 is always bare in the fast lane so everyone drives in it and goes slower than molasses, that always leaves the slow lane open to people like me who drive a truck and actually know how to drive in snow. I'm never late for work in the winter thanks to the phenomena known as the suicide lane (snow covered slow lane with zero traffic in it)!
