[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6261160, member: 22424"] Glad to hear it. Even more glad that you get to work from home today. My experience with driving in snow is that there are two breeds of really bad drivers: the morons you mention who fail to adapt appropriately to the weather, and also the people who completely panic and insist on driving [i]way[/i] below the traffic speed. (Note: I don't mean "10mph on an empty road", I mean "10mph on a road where everyone else is doing 30mph.") In general, I have three rules: slow right down, allow [i]much[/i] more stopping distance, and stick to well-travelled routes. The last has two benefits: if I do run into trouble then it's likely that there will be other people about who are able to help me; and actually the flow of traffic itself helps to clear the roads, making them safer to drive. (But stay in the single lane of traffic; don't be tempted to overtake!) Not that I'd claim to be an expert when it comes to driving in snow! :) You were taking a risk, but a calculated one. The big risk was that the weather would get much worse and/or a bunch of accidents would completely lock up the roads. But you knew that. :) [/QUOTE]
