The streets had a thin layer of ice covered with snow when I came up behind a driver with Texas license plates. As I switched lanes I told my wife, Kathy, “I better get around this driver. Texas drivers don’t usually know how to handle snow well.”
The arrogance of that statement had an immediate backlash. As I crossed lanes my car hit an ice patch and suddenly my car was fishtailing all over the road! It took quite an effort to bring it under control. I became the driver people needed to avoid.
