I concur about the "bad drivers everywhere" statement. A lot of places get bad reputations, but my experience is that you need to drive just as defensively no matter where you go. It's always confusing to me how
everyone complains of how bad
other drivers are. You never hear someone explain how poor their driving is. Then I get in the car with them, and I'm digging my fingernails into the dash, or having a heart attack as they tailgate someone at 70mph. I'm 26 and have had zero accidents -- something that not many people I know can say. Most people claim i'm simply lucky, but I honestly believe that my driving habits and mannerisms contribute to this significantly.
Oh, and on people driving in inclement weather: I live in Cincinnati/Kentucky and we do get snow. If you want to see poor driving, just check out Cincinnati after a few inches. I'd say check it out after six, but people simply barricade themselves in their basements with cans of beans and bottled water at that point. Hell, I drive my Celica around all winter with no issues and people with AWD Audi's are sitting inside discussing how dangerous it is outside at the moment.
These videos are entertaining in that kind of train-wreck horror-show kind of way, so I'll probably keep watching. My favorite was the reactions, though! Want more of those!
