The Weather Outside is Frightful & Indy Drivers are Not Delightful

Okay people. I'll give you the part about the record snowfall for Indianapolis - Yes, it was the largest since 1917...but it still wasn't any worse that what you could get daily living in Michigan or on the East Coast! It took me 4.5 hours to get home 15 miles last night. So, for those of you listening, here are so basic traffic rules and courtesies I believe you should extend while driving in these conditions:

Yellow Lights: Under regular circumstances, it may be okay to speed up and go through...when it's snowing so badly that you cannot see in front of you, you should actually stop so that the ass of your vehicle is not in the middle of the intersection blocking the oncoming traffic from the opposite direction. In case you weren't aware, this can triple the amount of time all of us have to sit in line.

Horns: I agree, horns can be delightful and amusing to use in many circumstances (like when you're on 38th St. in the middle of the Summer and a crazy man with a Ghetto Blaster is dancing at the corner or even when it's State Fair time and individuals sporting Mullets are out in full force). However, when the other 500 cars in front of me are only going 3mph, your horn is not going to make a damn bit of difference.

Excessive Switching of Lanes: You are in Indianapolis. You are not competing in the Indy 500. Switching lanes will not get you anywhere faster and may result vicious expletives being slung at you through rolled down windows and perhaps a few middle fingers. The only incidence in which this might be acceptable is if you are reenacting the beginning of the movie "Office Space", but again, please use Winter driving discretion.

SUVs: Just because you enjoy ruining the environment and are a complete tool doesn't give you the right to forage your own path around everyone else patiently waiting in line. That's why yellow lines were created - stay in them or face a possible beating.

Fishtailing: Is not a skill. Is not cute and does not make women think you're the shit. In fact, it shows a great lack of proper breeding and it generally pisses other drivers off.
