driving in bad weather

call me a pussy, but when the weatherman says stay off the roads … I usually listen …. But I hate calling out of work because sometimes I get the wrath … my car is just kinda shitty (totally my fault because I could have upgraded by now) and I hate risking crashing or something because to be honest I am not the best driver. I think the reason I haven’t upgraded is because I’m afraid of wrecking it but at this point driving a shitbox isn’t cute anymore ! Plz send peace, blessings & sunshine thank u <3

Im with you if it’s bad fuck it, don’t risk it. Club don’t like it, time for a new club. We’re in the same neck of the woods based on what they’re saying I would pass on tonight, supposed to be Icey as fuck.
From Texas to Maine is a slushy, soupy mess right now.
Where I live in the Midwest this is our 2nd day being snowed in, most places have been closed.
There are so many nuts on the road, who think they are fine, but who don’t use common sense. In general, I’m not worried about me, I’m worried about the guy in the car next to me thinking he can stop quickly on ice.
Be safe out there Carmen.
Even a minor fender bender can cause injuries that make our job harder or even impossible, not to mention the expense. Gotta take care of you, girl! 🤗
@yankeez this shift was in Boston so luckily not calling out at the new spot ! It’s been pretty slow there anyways but I really like desires so far, I had such a great first shift yesterday.
@skibum omg sliding 200 feet … sounds terrifying :O glad u r ok !
Yeah like people are crazy on the road overall .. I’ve been in ummm probably 5 accidents and 4 of 5 were my fault lol some rear ending and some side swipin’ and some just into guard rails! The one time I got rear ended is a crazy story but long story short I was on a road trip and was in Florida and the dude totaled my car so I got to finish the road trip in a rental which was kinda awesome because my cars alternator was going (wasn’t gonna make it back home anyways) then boom slammed in the back. Got a good amount of $ for my lil whip because it was totaled.
I’m planning on getting a new car within the next 2 months, probably a Toyota or something reliable, an SUV with 4 wheel drive, something I could go on a road trip in! I don’t need anything too fancy :)
I have no personal experience with that though and probably never will. I hate ice and cold 🥶
I went to Albuquerque once. Granted that it was probably more icy than I realized, but, latterly every local person had slid off the road. the raido was say not to call 911 if no injuries because of how overwhelmed the system was. I lived my whole life in the north east and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how it was that bad for the locals.
On the other hand, pre-covid I spent a lot of time in Idaho. One time it snowed pretty good. Compared to where I'm from, the roads were basically untreated in my opinion. Probably the 2nd scariest drive I've exerienced.
Yet, my local Idaho colleagues though nothing of it. wtf. If you feel unsafe on the road stay off the road.
(and that should be literally everyone... thank you auto correct)
If you don’t know what you’re doing stay home.
