For those of you who were unaware, the Washington DC area is being inundated with a bizzard of Biblical proportions - at last check a max. of 9 inches by this afternoon. Being a dutiful egg, I drove to work and unlike so many other DC area drivers, I made it without incident (knock on wood). If I wasn't convinced before, I'm thoroughly convinced now that DC area drivers are absolute morons!! My favorites were the pickup trucks with snowplows cruising at 50 mph (I averaged about 35 mph) and the Honduh Civic hogging the left-side of the Beltline at a whopping 20 mph!!
The new traffic laws are: If driving an AWD or 4WD vehicle, drive as RAPIDLY as possible (as if it were dry), cutting off as many lesser vehicles en route. After vehicle rolls over, contact the tire and vehicle manufacturers (via your attorney) to instigate a lawsuit stating that you weren't sufficiently warned about the dangers of AWD/4WD and slippery conditions. If driving a RWD vehicle, drive as SLOWLY as possible in the centre of the roadway, obstructing all other lanes to keep anyone from passing. When forced off the road by an AWD or 4WD vehicle, contact Law Enforcement immediately to report YOURSELF as a moving hazard. If driving a FWD vehicle of any sort, drive as RAPIDLY as possible until the vehicle spins out of control. After placing all the damaged pieces back in the vehicle, continue in the same manner. If the aforementioned fails, immediately pull over into the nearest ditch - if a ditch is unavailable, a divider wall or guardrail will suffice. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
