Reply to comment by DemonDuo in Is driving on 89 in the winter really that bad? by IAcadianI

This is why I prefer the backroads. I don’t care if they don’t plow. The shittier the roads, the better as far as I’m concerned. It’s the worst when it’s just shitty enough for all the flatlanders with bald no season tires to come out and play.

Nothing you can do if some masshole with 4WD and zero-wheel-stop in an adjacent lane fishtails straight into you. You can be a defensive driver all you want. You can be the best winter driver in a car that’s unstoppable in snow and ice. Make your whole driving setup winterproof, and winter will build a better Masshole to put you in a ditch anyway.

Masshole here. I’m a cautious thoughtful driver who plans ahead while on the road. I’ve been rear ended twice while sitting at a red light. Both times the vehicle had NH plates. To say that all accidents are caused by MA drivers is a display of small minded ignorance. There are excellent and horrendous drivers in every state.

Of course, but let’s be real, statistically, most people driving recklessly in snowstorms on NH interstates have MA plates. If only because there’s ~6x as many MA plates as NH plates in existence.

Get out of my state please. Never come back.
