Stay with me here. If you accept that:

1. the longer one is out on the snowy roads the more danger that person is in, and,

2. the best way to lessen that danger is to decrease the time spent, then,

3. hauling ass and thereby making your actual drive time as short as possible is really the safest way to be, Q.E.D.

you then perhaps understand how I came to be yelling “Why are you trying to kill me and my boy you crazy old biddy?!” as I passed some grandma going 32 mph in a 35 mph zone today. I couldn’t flip her the bird since I needed both hands on the wheel to control the skid I was in, but I managed to give her a good glowering as we slid past. Showed her.
