I swear I about had a heart attack after taking Brooklyn to school this morning.
I would assume that ALL people who drive in Utah know that a white road means a slick road right? NOT!!
While waiting at the light on North bound 2700 W. and Bangerter I witnessed pure stupidity.
A HUGE white passenger van (you know the type) came barreling east on Bangerter and into the turn lane to make a right onto 2700 W. Right into the white road I am talking about. I swear she was going 50. And of course a van FULL of kids going 50 hits the said white road and goes into an uncontrolled turning slide...right towards me and the other cars waiting at the light.
I promise you...it was like watching it all in slow motion. When suddenly just before impact her wheels gain enough traction to complete the turn. Really, I mean with in 2 feet of hitting the Jeep behind me.
Seriously!! White road....SLOW DOWN! That is my rant. It never fails to amaze me how reckless people are. It's hurry hurry with no thought to road conditions. Just like those people who have 4-wheel drive and you see them hauling butt down the freeway because they think 4-wheel drive is going to keep them from sliding with the rest of us.
All I can say is what my husband says to me almost every day....JOB SECURITY!
So in my rant I can thank all those people stupid enough to drive like maniacs. Thank you for keeping my husband gainfully employed and working sooo much overtime I get to go on awesome vacations.
That's All!!

Even dumber people---those women in those big @#$$ suburbans that think they drive like compact cars. You know the ones--NSA has quite a few!!!
Seriously! I ALWAYS say, "Thank Goodness for Idiots to keep my husband employed!"
I have to admit that I am dumbfounded every year by the amount of crashes at the start of winter when we get the first snow! We live in Utah, you would think that everyone KNOWS it snows in winter and KNOWS how to drive! I can't remember the number but there were TONS of accidents all over the valley when that first snow hit...it amazes me.
Heheh! I guess job security is one way to feel like you can go through the day with out freaking out at dumb drivers. I will have to remind myself...."this is Lincoln's job security or another one for the Paxman family vacation fund."
