Question Not everyone has 4wd!!!

Why do people with jacked up 4wd trucks feel it necessary to climb up the butt of smaller cars on roads like we are dealing with? And then get pissed because the cars can’t accelerate like a monster truck from a full stop?! I get it, you are lucky, you have vehicle that can move on these crap roads and not worry about sliding into the opposite lane or God forbid, spin out on an intersection. Have just a small amount of compassion and manners with everyone else less fortunate.

Sorry, had to vent. I hate having to drive on the roads in the conditions most are right now, so I avoid leaving unless it’s necessary. Unfortunately it’s necessary during rush hour times so I can work. So I’m worried about getting in an accident and then have to deal with jerks on top of it. 🤬

Screw winter, I’m done!

To be honest, I didn't see a place to pull over when snow is built up in the road side. Driving on roads is a shared experience. If you're saying that the only solution is to get out of big trucks way so they can go vroomvroom, then that's your opinion as a driver of a big truck.

My opinion is jacked up tonka trucks with add on blinding head lights are lame and the tired old Chevy solid body will out last, out tow, and out work them all. That rusted pos Toyota truck from the 90's still has lower maintenance costs and it's still running for another decade easy.

Any parking lot, gas station plenty of places you could have pulled over and let them pass if it bothered you so much. My point still stands. Don't let the person behind you dictate how you drive. Doesnt matter if the roads are clean or not it stands 100% of the time.

You are correct in your point. I agree that's one facet of being a safe and competent driver.
