As I left work at 6:30 this morning, enjoying the "fanastic" job ODOT does here (Can I just say I miss NYS DOT) I can't help but wonder why it is that in most things there is balance. A bell curve if you will. But not when it comes to people driving in the snow. You either have those guys doing 80mph in the snow in their big 4WD trucks and duallies.
OR you have the people doing well under what could be considered prudent, say doing 25mph on the highway. Like this morning, I held to about 45-50 on a road I would normally be doing 75 on. But then I had pickups and sports cars roaring up behind me doing at least 70mph. And then there were the people doing about 25mph and being even more of a danger than the snow itself.
Seriously, somewhere between those two extremes there has to be a happy medium, and I wonder why it's so hard for people to find it.
