Blistering Blizzard
Only a short while ago I was wearing shorts and t-shirt, there was leaves on the trees not the ground, but all that has changed as well as the weather. As December is upon us so is the first snowstorm of the year. The first storm to hit the Midwest this year closed down many schools, grounded planes and caused its fair share of car accidents. Which brings me to my point about driving in the snow. It is a known fact the more accidents are caused by snow than anything else, so why doesn't anyone do anything about it. I think that as a cause of so many accidents caused by the snow there should be more training of drivers in the snow. I think that the main reason why people get into accidents in the snow is because it really only snows 3 or 4 months of the year meaning that it is hard to practice driving in the snow. With more practice driving in the snow the number of accidents will decrease and overall drivers will be safer.

With the advancements of technology today, you would think there would be some sort of contraption that would make driving in the snow easier. As the post says, many people in our area do not have to drive in bad conditions all that much. However people in the northern United States have to deal with issue constantly. I'm not even sure that driving lessons would help in these conditions because accidents are caused based upon weather conditions, not necessarily the ability of the driver.
