Winter driving in Whitehorse....
Happy new year. May 2010 bring you safety, security, and happiness! I will continue posting occasional rants about driving as I've seen it.
There was a lot of fresh snow on the roads and so driving was a lot trickier than usual. Nonetheless, here are some more driving episodes for you!
In a two lane road, a driver ahead of me tries to pass on the right and doesn't see that there's a car in front in the right lane so immediately veers back left.
After driver sees me, a lumbering truck pulls in front, cuts in front, and then slows down. Without evasive action I would have been riding in his flatbed.
I saw 4 pedestrians walking in the middle of the road, ostensibly so they didn't have to inconvenience themselves by walking in fresh now. But with slippery conditions and drivers going too fast, is this smart?
Again, one common thread....everyone thinks they're the only one on the road because after all, it's little ol' Yukon.
Wake up people!! And watch for others, and play nice!
