Bad Roads or Bad Drivers?

I usally blame the people since a lot of people make so many stupid mistakes. Like I went to Boston a few days ago and I swear massachusets has some of the worse drivers. I saw a few people on the highway stop just because they missed there exit I mean how stupid can you be I would never do that you should keep going and get off at the next exit.

I do believe it's little bit of both. People should know what their own car is capable of doing or not doing in a bad weather condition. Also everyone should take some time to take a lesson in how to control their car in a certain situations. That being said, some situations are called "accidents" for a reason. But at the same time, if people know what to do in certain situations, they can minimize the severity of the accident. Things do happen. That's just life. I understand we can't control every aspect of life. Sometimes simplest things can avoid us of big headaches. When it snows & roads ice up, then slow down, don't go out if you don't have to. If you end up having to go out, try to stick to major roads because chances are, they will clear up major roads first before getting to back roads so you have less chance of slipping out. If you can help it, get a snow tires. If not, carry a bag of sand with you in case you do get stuck. When you do get stuck, put some sand under driving tires. Should give you slightly better tractions to at least get you out from "stuck". Make sure to steer into the direction you're sliding. Get your foot off of gas & break if you can help it. Matter in fact, in rare occations, when you're sliding, giving a "LITTLE BIT" of gas can actually help straightening out your car. Little things that make differences. Like I was saying, not every single situations are avoidable. But doing little bit of "preventions" will go a long way.
