"But the truth is the majority of people everywhere are just poor drivers to begin with and worse during snow and ice events."

This is undeniably true. It all boils down to what the Professor said, which is also undeniably true ... 

"You gotta know you limitations, son."

Ice is treacherous no matter who the driver is. You just can't be stupid and expect to come out unscathed ... and unfortunately, there are a LOT of stupid drivers out there ... even on dry roads.

professor,

As someone who drove over 100 miles roundtrip to work and back for over 35 years, I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of motorists on the road in a snow and ice weather event haven;t a clue how to drive. They don't know there is a difference between being on an interstate or a four lane road or avenue. I have pretty much seen it all and now I just relax and laugh at them.

I would love to see how the Big D and FORT W folks drive with ice first and 5 or more inches of snow on top.

I cannot imagine they are any worse than most here in southern ohio.

THAT said, PRACTICE makes for better learning and then execution on roads. Where De lives they get a lot of practice. A WHOLE lot more than Big D area multiplied by years and years.

I have family in Big D. I've been there. Nice area.

But the truth is the majority of people everywhere are just poor drivers to begin with and worse during snow and ice events.
