So, in my travels today I saw some lady on Rt 78 in NJ do a 180 at 55mph. That was fun because it happened in front of me. Lessons I hope she learned (realistically not) Do Not tailgate when conditions are 1/4 inch of slow on the highway. Number two Do Not slam on your brakes, use the engine to help slow your vehicle down. Number three DO NOT TAILGATE IN THE SNOW. ALSO BECAUSE YOU DRIVE A LARGE SUV DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE IMMUNE TO SNOW CONDITIONS. She slammed on her brakes and over corrected. Yelling is over, glad she didn't hit me or injure anyone including herself.
That was one of those moments where I wish I had a dashcam. The funny part was I saw it coming before it even happened. oh the audio from the dashcam would have picked up my ranting and many explicitness.
filthy front end for your time. Side note - winter tires FTW

Top tip: Get a dash cam.
Although if you're anything like me you'll slowly make everyone else on here hate you by exclusively posting either boring and trivial or self-incriminating shit ;)

I've been told it's more like a mustache. Yup, that's a 90 mile trip in the snow for you lol.

She did not learn any of those things. Maybe she drives better for a week, ten days tops.

That was my feeling exactly. I was less optimistic, I was thinking she would drive carefully just until she gets home. Then its back to the normal.

Yeah. She'll post about it on Facebook, her friends will assure her that she's the best driver they know, and it'll be right back to business as usual.

Looks like the kidneys are the mustache bit and the rest is just stubble.

Exactly. I wouldn't doubt her tires were nearly bald too.

The way you describe her snow driving behavior, I guarantee she will NEVER (I repeat: NEVER) learn about engine braking. The only way people learn about engine braking is by driving a manual transmission, and a remarkably low number of manual veterans know how to apply that same technique in an automatic car.

I had the same reaction to some asshat with a pep boys bodykit shitbox weaving in traffic. Just because everybody else is doing a steady 40, as the roads are slick does not give you the right to act like an ass.
