Yes and no. I work hard to make sure I've got proper equipment for winter which includes an AWD vehicle with studded snow tires with lots of tread. I also remove all the snow from my vehicle before I drive. I have lots of experience and know how to drive for the conditions. I'm also cautious. Too often I get behind people that haven't cleared the snow off their windows and have a two-wheel drive vehicle with worn tires. I feel like they are unprepared to be driving in those conditions and should be going slower than I am or not on the road at all. I don't think I should have to go slower just because you are inexperienced or didn't prepare for the driving conditions.

Yes, of course, because everyone can afford to have all the nice things that you do. So, fuck ‘em if they can’t, right? They deserve to be passed. And most of the time, you assholes do it very unsafely, creating a terrible deadly situation for all, including my child in my back seat. Jesus Christ you people are entitled assholes on this thread.

Maine mountain “rover”. Yep, that sums it up nicely.

No surprise that a “Gypsy” skimmed over the part where I said I worked hard. Also not surprising that you make assumptions. My vehicle is 16 years old and I bought it used. Also I bought used snow tires that had seen a season and had them mounted on wheels I got from a junkyard. I’m smart, safe, and thrifty, not entitled.

Well, the tone of this comment sounds a whole heck of a lot nicer than the first one. And a lot of people work hard…. And drive safely and slowly to get home to their families. I picked gypsy for my user name because I love the song by Stevie Nicks, not because I lack reading comprehension skills. I didn’t miss any part. Anyhow, be safe out there.

Oh well. You don't think you should have to go slower. That makes all the difference. Thanks for explaining.
