Learning to drive in the snow helps a little but doesn't help with all the other idiots on the road

Every year about this time it starts snowing and roughly 99.99% of NYers have forgotten everything they know about driving in the snow. I can say now that the two most important things are slow down and allow increased stopping distance. But first snow fall those 99.99% will zip along doing 60 in a 30 and slam on there brakes 10 feet before the stop sign. So if your the unlucky one tooling along in your nice SUV with new snow tires and blankets and jumper cables and all the other stuff your supposed to do your still gonna get hit because some idiot couldn't leave 10 minutes earlier.

I will say that by the 10th storm it goes down to only 96.3% of NYers can't drive in the snow.
Generally after the first few storms it's the people who just have vehicles that aren't up to task of driving in the snow (IE - bald tires) who have problems.
