I will never forget driving my 2wd Ranger 100 miles in a snow storm behind a Mustang. We just plodded along in the slow lane and watched the 4x4s blow past in the passing lane only to see them stuck in a ditch a mile or two later. I learned a lot about winter driving running around in the snow belt with just a 2wd for college. Later I got a 4x4 and learned proper use of that. Now there is little that scares me.
Several years ago I was on my way home in my F-150 in 4x4 and I was in a hurry and knew I was pushing the limits of my truck and my abilities. Wasn’t right on the edge of them, but really close in a snowstorm, think I was doing about 50. Had a Jeep Cherokee blow past me like I was standing still and I yelled at him that if he went in the ditch I wasn’t stopping. As we come around a bend I can see a plow truck up ahead and a vehicle behind the plow truck. He goes rocking up behind them and tries to make a sudden jump to the fast lane at the last minute, loses control, tags the other vehicle and they both spin into the median. F@#$&*. Now I have to stop. The FAMILY in the minivan he hit said they were shook up but ok (husband, wife, two kids). The kid driving the Jeep refused to talk to anyone.
