Bad weather couseling

After i lost my marbles this morning on I 81 in southern pa i thought i would dust off about irresponsible drivers. first we had an empty truck ban in place and all exits were useless .trucks were stuck on every exit . everyone was driving single file and going 35 mph and all was well till a computer hijacked eld compliant truck just had to go 50 because HIS CLOCK IS RUNNING OUT OF SAND. the road had lots of snow and wasnt plowed so we didnt have both full lanes then these wacko eld folks would try to pass and push you hard to side of your lane into the deep stuff then your rig pulls funny. I DEVELOPED A NEW HATRED FOR SNOW THIS MORN ALL BECAUSE OF OTHER INCONSIDERATE DRIVERS. Cars were bad also slowing me up big time on hills and so on. My bad weather counseling is its 4 WEEKS TILL SPRING. Keep it safe fellows and we can all make it to warmer times.
