Columbus Snow Flakes (a.k.a.: Dumb-ass Drivers!)

So we got some snow and ice last night, and yes, we are under a Level 2 Snow Advisory, but that is not an excuse for people to become complete and utter dumb-asses! On my home today, this is what I came across (in the roads/parking lots w/in my apartment complex):
<rant>
Some dumb-girl got stuck backing out of her spot... she was stuck right in the middle of the road (going through the complex) so a few of us were trying to help her get un-stuck. ÂI told her to "Keep your wheels straight while we're trying to get you out, b/c when you turn them, you get stuck!"Â That seems like pretty easy advice to follow, but not for this dumb-ass. Every time we'd get her loose, she'd turn her wheel and take her foot off the gas. ÂWOW, look she's stuck, AGAIN! ÂAnyhow, we finally got her out, and then I'm driving toward the lot by our apartment and I come across another moron. ÂSome other girl comes through in her little car and takes a turn right toward me and proceeds to drive directly at me, as if miraculously the plowed road will suddenly widen as our cars get close to each other. ÂShe didn't even have the windshield scraped off! ÂShe was driving by trying to look out her side windows, which were rolled up!
</rant>
I swear, as soon as one damn snowflake falls, this whole town forgets how to drive. ÂIdiots!
Oh, and here's a picture of what 315 S. looked like that morning:

It appears you are driving at the time of taking this picture. You complain about idiot drivers while taking pictures while you drive?

Who's the idiot?

Well, that is a valid point. However, traffic was only moving about 5 mph at the time, and as you can see, I am more than the reccommended "1 car length per 10 mph" behind the car in front of me.
