We have those too. I'd imagine everyone does. For some reason a lot of ppl think SUV's make them invincible. There were so many crashes here Saturday. People had no business being on the roads.

I dont think its as bad in areas with harsher winters and more suburban/rural type ares. Seems people there are much better drivers as a whole than around here.

I did have a nice spin out comming home yesterday though. I managed to save it and not hit anything. People in other cars were prolly like look at that ass hole, I was laughing when I straightened out and wanted to do it again LOL

I almost got mowed down by a plow truck last weekend in the ice. That was not fun.

I was in front of this guy on an untreated road. He came up behind me throwing salt down and started sliding sideways....I drove directly in to someones front yard to avoid getting crushed by a billion ton dump truck.

Until then I didn't either. Looked like a younger guy driving...My guess is he was relatively new. At that point I still had 3 hours and 45 mins of driving to do....I turned around and went home. Wasn't worth it. Turns out they closed 322 and I-80 anyway. So I just woulda been stuck hours from home.

I saw one clip a huge oak tree with the wing plow once - the whole truck abruptly jerked sideways (the tree won )

That was about 10 years ago and the tree is still there with a gouge taken out of it

We had a 70 car pileup recently, and the only car on its roof in the pics was an SUV with winter tires.
