You know, it’s hard enough to drive to work on dark, winding country roads, disfigured by frost heaves and hidden gullies. But it’s even harder when you suddenly find yourself driving on large patches of ice, formed by the previous day’s melting snow.
That’s why I want to give a great big pat-on-the-back to the young woman in the Hyundai SUV who cut in front of me this morning. She not only managed to handle all of that while maintaining a steady speed of anywhere between 10 to15 miles an hour below the speed limit, to 15 to 20 miles an hour above the speed limit- she also managed to do it with the bright glow of her cell phone shining in her face the whole way.
Sure, she randomly jerked her car back from veering into the oncoming lane occasionally, and sure, she almost headed into the tree lined embankment, not once, but twice. But the point is, she managed to send her texts or update her Facebook page, or whatever she was doing- and no one was killed!
Great job, Fellow Commuter! I look forward to our paths crossing in the near future... as long as I’m not in the oncoming lane.
