Passing during/after a Snowstorm
To the cow who tried to pass me in the lane that wasn’t plowed, and almost took me out: after a snowstorm, leave 10 minutes early AND DON’T TRY TO PASS SOMEONE BY USING THE UNPLOWED LANE!!! Jesus you’d think that doesn’t need to be explained to Maritime

So, really, the post should be about the chick that can’t friggin drive, not about people passing in the unplowed lane. There are those of us who, after living and driving in snow for, well, a whole lot of years, are quite capable of negotiating our vehicles through an unplowed road. There are those of us who realized we live in a country that gets snow and we therefore required friggin snow tires!! I know that is a novel idea to most, but come on, get a freaking clue already. So, sorry some dimwit almost took you out the other day due to their lack of driving skills. Hopefully you can get their plate number next time and make a complaint.
Wondering what happened t – you may think you’re a superior driver who is immune to car accidents, but I don’t particularly like it when someone is sliding around at 130 in a slush-covered, icy, bumpy mess mere feet from my left side…all it takes is for you to fishtail a little and then you take us both out. Think of the other drivers you’re scaring the shit out of and don’t be a fucking cowboy.
Jammie, Get your fucking shit together man. I am not a cowboy on the road, nor did I indicate I was one, but I know how to fucking drive more than 10 km on a snow-covered road. If you are too goddamn scared to drive on the road because you are worried about yourself or other drivers, then stay the fuck home. If you will note, my initial post said nothing about being a cruise missile down a ice-covered road. It was about putting snow tires on and being a capable driver. Grab some fucking comprehension skills on your way to your driving lessons you dickhead, and pick up some ‘balls’ on the way … or your ticket to the Bahamas.
Hey calm down girl. It’s not that big a deal. The OP never said “the chick” was a bad driver, or couldn’t drive. YOU berated the OP and implied that the “chick” he/she was referring to can’t drive, based on nothing other than that she was trying to pass in an unplowed lane, and then proceed to tell us how you are a better driver who can pass in a shitty lane if she feels like it.I am simply saying that passing in an unplowed lane can be pretty dangerous even if you think you are an Andretti. You probably don’t drive any better than the “chick”, and her attitude is probably exactly the same as yours. Fuck everybody else, especially those that get in your way.I am not a nervous driver at all. I drive at as near the speed limit as my perfectly capable snow tires allow, and I am just fine driving long distance in the nastiest of storms. But I get mad as hell at the obnoxious assholes in pickup trucks that blast by in a lane that’s not safe, wobbling all over the fucking place, spraying my windshield with slush, and generally being reckless.Forgive me for thinking you’re coming off as just one of those types of asshole. But you ARE coming off that way.
