Are you kidding! People don't even know how to drive straight!

I've overheard people describe their spin out on the highway, coming to a dead stop facing the wrong way, just because of the snow. And the folks around him congratulate him for avoiding a crash! Arrrrrgh people are too stupid.

IMO
The biggest problem is 90% of people leave for their ( insert time, here in my case 10-20 minute ) drive into work at the exact same time regardless of the weather.
Guy I work with has a 40 minute drive, during the last snow storm he's 20 minutes late for work. All he does is blame the slow drivers. I asked him how fast the drive was? 50kph he says. I ask what time he left? Same time as always. He says if they cant drive the speed limit then they need to stay home.
If people would leave a little earlier on crappy weather days then it would not be half as aggravating and annoying. But most peoples attitude is, why should I leave early, I know how to drive it's not my fault the others on the road cant drive and that's why it's ok for me to ride their a**. I know it's not all people but it is a lot.
I have a 4x4 truck and have the proper tires on and leave early and some times I even take the less traveled road when the weather is bad, just because I don't need that guy riding my bumper because he/she thinks I need to drive faster on the ice covered road.
This is a big part of the problem.
Just my opinion and what I notice on my drive into work.

... or today's airport taxi driver who came out of nowhere, into the lane that I was already halfway through a properly-signalled lane change into and already ahead of him.

From my point of view ... right signal on, mirror check (nothing), shoulder check (nothing), start moving over, HONK - where the heck is the honking coming from? - Oh, BEHIND me, from the next lane over, because apparently he wanted to move left into that lane from the next lane over together with me moving right into that lane. Sorry buddy, but the vehicle in front and already partway through the lane change (me) has claim to it.

Here's another, stop & go traffic, buddy needs to make a right turn into the plaza. I'm in front of him, can't move forward, he's behind me. He honks me like crazy, I mean crazy, for me to move forward. I have no space to move forward, but I apparently it doesn't matter to him. At first I didn't think he was honking at me, but when traffic finally moved, he turned and stopped honking. I was completely dumb-founded. Some people have all the right in the world
