Wintertime! Yearly snow driving gripe

I would like to renew my every year complaint about people who do not know how to handle their car in snow, drive way too fast, apply way too much power and spin their tires all the time, and never clean their windows off so they have no idea who and what is around them.

It drives me nuts to see people going about 50mph down my street in slick snow, distracted, texting, fiddling with the radio, yelling at their kid, and unable to stop or turn on low traction tires. I live on a 45 degree bend in the street which is semi blind as well, and im up high and can look down into most of the cars. Down the street from the bend is a temple school. From my living room ive seen 3 or 4 fender benders this season as idiotic people speed down the straight part, and cut the corner only to run into the line of cars waiting to drop off their kids.

It only gets worse in snow. People if anything seem to be even more reckless. Saw another fender bender this morning. Roar up the street, apply the brakes, slide in the snow, hit the car in front of you, drop off your kid and exchange insurance info. No cars have been wrecked yet, but its pretty consistent that people will tap. Im waiting for some poor kid to get nailed by another parent
