Twelve Minutes Faster

Great post! While I'm not the slowest driver in the snow, I certainly get passed enough by those in large pickup trucks that are eager to flip me off while trying to control their loose assed truck with one hand on the wheel. We don't have the wintry conditions here that you guys have in the prairies (which I think is a detrement as nobody seems to know how to drive in the snow here, we have half asshats in SUVs and half little old ladies in snowtires) its still scary being on the road in the snow and it isn't because of the winter conditions, its because of the other drivers. I can honestly say I'm the first to get on the horn and call into work to tell them I'm not coming in if the roads are white (luckily I have a job that I can do that though).

thank you for posting this. Really makes you think. I think I'll share it with my husband too...maybe it will save a life just by you posting it here. You will never know that it did, and the person that's life was spared will never know....but it will be ONE more life spared.

Great post, brought a tear to my eye.

I am one of the ones who will go 60km on the highway (and I don't care how many people honk or how long it takes me to get there as long as I arrive alive) when it's really icy and visability is poor. However on the flip side I do admit I have a bad habit of speending, usually 10-20km over the limit when the road are clear, and I have caught myself going 150-160km (didn't realise I was going that fast until I looked down ) but only in the summer when the roads were clear and there was barley any traffic.
