Ahhh...thanks. I will remember that. The entire Wildwose family just watched this. Mom and dad to remind us that we NEVER go on the roads in this sort of weather. And the kids to remind them that they will be completely quite when we tell them to and we are driving under bad conditions. It is amazing how I can be white knuckled and trying to get out off a bad situation and a kid will be chattering away...That and we wanted to imprint this video on the mind of the teen boy who is about to get his learner's permit.
Incidentally, we are just about to set out on hour annual Christmas trip to Texas. In the early days, Leah and I drove, before Ellawyn. Since she came, we have flown. Now, she is big enough for the trip and the gas prices make it about a grand cheaper to drive than fly. So, as soon the weather breaks (We have 4 inches of the white stuff here and freezing rain coming down on that) we are off. And trust me, we will keep this little video on our minds.
I thought the exact same thing. The even more stupid part? On that first one, he's come to a stop and you can hear him floor it... which results in him hitting another 3 cars and a sidewalk.

Scary stuff. I'd have been terrified if I was one of those drivers. (Of course, I wouldn't be out in that in a car, either.)
