    As long as people are not doing 20 mph... in a 50 zone.. I'm fine.. I was passing people yesterday the whole way home.. and not aggressively either..

    People that drive super slow in the snow make me mad.. I understand it's snow.. but there's a point where you can feel if you have control of the car or not.. that point is faster than 20mph.. honestly if you lose control of your car at 20.. idk if you should drive in the snow..

    Not targeted towards you, just my own mini rant lol

    No I always drive around five over the speed limit at least depending on where im at. Im talking about people that cut you off for no reason when there's nobody behind you. People that pull out right in front of you. Or my favorite some f*cker thats riding your ass on there cell phone, so when you turn you hit the brakes a little harder and turn slow. And then you hear them sliding almost hitting you, throwing up there arms like its all your fault.

    i so agree with you!!

    everybody wants to run even with each other and hog the fast lane knowing i have a lead foot. i just drive at a speed that's comfortable be it 5-20mph over the speed limit.

    Have you ever drove a grand prix with bald ass tires? I was one of those people who had to be driving 25mph down the road because my car would not grip the road, nor stop. So i thought sense i cant stop i rather hit someone at 25 then 50 cuz i could kick the front of a grand prix and the air bags would pop out. BUT when its summer and no snow or ice on the ground and your doing the speed limit get the F**k out of my way, i hate people who drive slow when theres no reason to.

    More mods soon to come!

    It isn't just the season bro, it is all the time
    Not a day goes by where I don't encounter 5-10 drivers that should have their licenses revoked for terrible driving habits

    I cant stand when driving in bad snowy winter weather in my gp and some guy comes out in his big ole 4x4 with huge tires and get on your ass and stay there why the **** cant they just go around Im not going to lose control of my car just because you want to drive fast and don't go around if you want to go faster go around this time of year people need to keep it slow and give your self plenty of braking time you should be aiming to stop about 100 feet before the light or sign.

    for example this morning 3 inchs of the slick stuff on the road hasnt been plowed or salted yet its fresh stuff im doing between 35-40 in a 55 and this guy in his 4x4 just tailgates me for like 40 mins just go around if you wana go faster

    There's something to be said for keeping up with inspection.

    Have you ever been in accident where they hadn't determined who was at fault?

    Because if your tires were bald and you slid into someone its your fault.

    You should KNOW the capabilities of whatever vehicle you're driving in whatever road conditions you're on and drive accordingly.

    I think the point is that especially this time of year, its no time to be a diq to someone else for whatever reason. Too fast, too slow, whatever man up and deal with it keep your cool and handle it. Period.

    I used to be a courier in Minneapolis about 7 yrs ago. I saw so many stupid accidents because someone was road raging in a snowstorm. Totally avoidable B.S. that we all don't need.

    I'm not saying you shouldn't get aggravated if you're being tailgated on snowy roads. Don't loose your cool, don't be pressured to drive out of your capabilities whatever they are. Think you're gonna be late because someone in front of you is driving too slow in 3in of snow? How late are you going to be if you spin out because you're tailgating?

    OK, I'm done. That's my rant in The Rant Forum.
