I'm not sure if anyone wrote something like this before so I'm going to. I live in Wi and believe me I get my fair share of cold ass winters and snow storms :(
Rules of the road:
1. If you have to brush off your windshield, brush off your headlights and tail lights!
(Only applies to night driving)
2. Just because you cant see the lines on the road, They are still there. Pick a fucking lane
and stay in one jackass! Also don't drive in the middle on main roads.
3. On side streets its OK to drive in the center of the road. UNTIL anther car comes from the
other direction. In which case you are IMEDIETLY REQUIRED to get in YOUR correct lane, NO
EXCEPTIONS!
4. If your driving a 4-wheel drive SUV or other such behemoth, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE
TO GO 10+ mph hr below the speed limit. It will be ok, you can do it step on the gas SLOWLY
and you'll be A OK!
5. Stopping while traveling up a steep ass hill is a BAD idea Period. I don't care what you drive.
6. If you don't know how to drive in the snow, DONT. Park the car in the driveway (off the street)
and just stay home. You'll be safer and so will we.
7. It is now MANDATORY to take at least one drivers ed class in the winter and be state
certified before you can legally drive in the winter. (In states where this applies only)
8. EMPTY I repeat EMPTY mall parking lots are great places to learn how to drive in the snow
before attempting to do so on the roads. Practice Emergency stops, Turning from a stopped
position ext. Your car handles differently in the snow then on dry pavement. LEARN THIS NOW
Not after you rear end me or T-bone my car. I WILL BE PISSED AND KICK YOUR ARSE!
9. Get the hell out of my way when you see me, I am impatient but still know how my car will
handle in the snow/rain/ice so its OK for me to drive fast, I know what im doing so I can
drive the speed limit I don't need to be slow as molasses in January so to speak. It pisses me
off when you slow me down because you haven't taken the time to:
A: Learn how to drive in the snow
B: Replace your old worn tires (CHEAP BASTARD)
New tires $500-600 (Avg)[For high end tires]
-Vs.-
Insurance deductible $500 (Avg) + increased Insurance costs
-You do the math-
C: Are just a jack ass
10. The hot passion from lesbians kissing will melt the coldest of ice, so screw the cat litter
and candle in a tin can survival kit. Keep a pair of those with you at all times.
Come on people if I can drive a lowered Honda and NOT GET STUCK EVER! I think I know what im talking about here.

I agree with most of this, but it's pretty crappy. I hate winter driving. Thanks for reminding that more winter is just six months away. Hell, it will probably snow again tomorrow.

Yea I was on one of the computers at work if you want to call them that with no word apps what's so ever on them so I couldn't spell check, and I was pissed cause of some idiot that almost ran me off the road because they thought since they cant see the lines they must not apply drifted into my lane.

Always hit the brakes HARD,to make sure you'll stop in time.
Always hit the accelerator HARD, to ensure proper traction.

Excellent advice, and it took 1% of the space that the post itself did
