The morons were out in full swing...

The morons were definitely alive and well yesterday and they were causing plenty of accidents. I heard on the radio that the police had stopped responding to accidents because there were so many of them so if you were in an accident and your car was movable, you should move it out of the way of traffic, exchange insurance information and file your accident report with the police department later. Apparently there were over 100 accidents in Lincoln as well. I know when I was driving home from the dealership, I had one guy behind me who decided that he was going to drive about a foot away from my bumper. I was less than pleased. Sometimes when I stop at a light, I will inch forward to see if the person behind me is going to do the same thing and of course, he did this every time I inched up a little. I could see him in my rear view mirror and he was yelling at me to go faster because obviously having a car length in front of me was too much room and I wasn't tailgating the person in front of me to his liking. Regardless, he definitely adds to the moron count. I feel lucky he didn't hit me because he was making me pretty nervous. I'm assuming he was driving like the rest of the many people who caused the accidents. To that I have to say "Come on, people!" Seriously, we live in Nebraska and it snows pretty much all winter. I do not understand why people get this idea that when it snows they should drive like crazy people because it's "extra fun" to slide around and there's no possibility that they're going to be one of the hundred accidents of the day. It was almost like it was the first snow of the season. There are always lots of accidents after the first snow, but I'm pretty sure the accidents yesterday outnumbered the accidents earlier this season. John even saw a guy come flying over a hill and couldn't get stopped before sliding through most of the intersection. Note to all people with large cars: having four wheel drive helps you go, it does not help you stop! Anyway, moron count += 100.
