Dumb Drivers

<SIGH>

I have yet another gripe to air.  Why is it that there are so many people that live in Utah, who somehow forget how to drive in the snow from year to year?  Or even from snow storm to snow storm?  I was reading the news today, and there was a brief snowstorm along the Wasatch Front this morning, and there were 300+ car accidents!!!  Who are these morons who can't remember how to drive in the snow?  How hard is it to drive a little slower, leave a little more space between you and the car ahead of you, and TAP your brakes instead of stomp on them?  That's pretty much all there is to driving in the snow, other than to turn INTO the skid if you feel your car start to slide.  That's a whopping 4 rules!  What kind of total dweeb can't remember 4 little rules?  I have young little kids, and even they can remember 4 things for a whole year! 

Now in reality, I know that sometimes you can be driving exactly how you're supposed to, and Mother Nature decides to screw you and you slide off the road or into another car anyway.  However, 300+ accidents in a matter of a couple hours, are not all just "accidents"; it's people being absolutely STUPID!!! 

There needs to be an IQ test to get a driver's license; among other things.  I think we need a winter driving safety campaign with the slogan, "Get a brain or give up your license!!!"
