Every year it snows where I live. Everyone should be used to it and know how to drive safely yet diligently. But every fucking year there are a few people who have somehow forgotten how to drive. I propose 3 options. The first is that we all have the legal right to kill one person each day. The problem should fix itself over a few years. The second option is that everyone who doesn't know how to drive doesn't leave for work until everyone else has already gotten to work. The third option is that I get missles on my vehicle.
Many inexperienced drivers misunderstand what 4 wheel drive gives them.
Traction, in general, is not one of them. So when they fail to slow down, the ditch is where they end up.
4 wheel drive does come in handy while trying to get out of a ditch, though.
