Silly People in car accidents!
So I'm driving this morning trying to make an appointment for 10:30 and I'm on 14th Ave (people who live in Markham know this street), it's a two laner for most of the way.
The traffic is horribly slow, like crawling. I knew the weather was bad, but this was a bit extreme. So I'm sitting there and it takes me like 10 minutes to travel like 500 meters.
You know what was holding up traffic? Two cars had got into an accident and stopped right in the middle of traffic to discuss it. And it was one of those rear-ended at 5 km/h no visible damage accidents. Instead of being considerate and pulling into the parking lot about 5-6 meters away from them, they decided to pull over and turn it into a one lane street...
People like that honestly need a bit more common sense.
Blah!
Anyways,
Exams are over woo hoo!

Yup me too, took alot longer than usual to get into work this morning. I agree that you should take it easy in slippery conditions, but alot of people seem to take that advice way too far. There are just too many people that are too scared to drive (and therefore shouldn't) on the roads these days and the snow only makes things worse.

yeah **** that sucks
-> and the worst is when people stop toj take a look
even though its not in that one lane it holds up both lanes of both sides
people want to see and they end up slowing down causing a chain and after the accident its free driving from there.

I only saw one car in a ditch..cruised home on the highway at 60 km/h on Sunday night (early monday morning)... Other than that, didn't see too many accidents..snow plows are good at clearing those up
