The Parking Lot in the Middle of the road...

Or it could also be the side's of the road... I have often traveled through Iowa after they have had some kind of winter storm and have always seen more cars and trucks stuck off the road in the midian, or on the sides of the highway, than you usually would after any storm in any other state!!!
I mean, when ever bad wheather hits, you know there will always be a handful of idiots that think they are bullet proof, or at least snow/ice proof , that will end up sliding off the highway due to driving to fast for conditions, but in Iowa, the number of idiots that slide off the Highway is way more than you find in any other state!!!
I often wonder why this was untill tonight. I was unfortunate enough to have to drive through a heavy snow storm tonight through Iowa, on my way to Shelby, IA. The snow was heavy, the roads where completely covers with white powder, I was traveling at speeds around 50mph when I could, which is pretty fast for conditions, and Iowa motorist were passing me like it was a bright sunshiney day!!! And I'm not talking just SUV's and 4-Wheel Drives, I'm also talking about Ford Focus' and other small cars like that! I now realize why so many Iowa Idiots end up in the ditch!!! Because they are just that, Idiots!!!!
I probably push the speed a little too much sometimes in bad wheather, but I'm in a big truck, with a lot of weight on my back to hold the road with! These Iowa 4-wheeler's are light, easy to loose control, and not good for snowy conditions!!!
Tonight I was driving in the right lane going about 50mph while a small car was attempting to pass me on the left. Three cars were getting on from on ramp, but I couldn't get over thanks to the Idiot 4-wheeler to give them the lane, so I had to slow down. In the process, the lead car getting on from the on ramp, took the ramp too fast, did two 360* in front of me, ended up in the midean, and the Car attempting to pass me on the left joined him there!!!
I think I was dealing with bad roads for about 100 miles, and it seemed that there were at least two 4-wheelers off the road and in a ditch for every 1 mile traveled!!! And that is not much of an exajeration either! Bottom line, If you are a body shop repairman by trade, then Iowa is the place to work, because there is an awful lot of 4-wheelers going to need some work done to them!!!!
