You would think that bad weather would mean more cautious driving.
In my experience that is absolutely not the case though.

Yesterday it was about 70 degrees out but when I woke up this morning it was 30 degrees.
That's how weather sometimes goes around here.
All day the sky was grey and overcast.
Rainy, dreary, dark, freezing, terrible.
That was today.
However, everywhere you looked people were speeding.
I saw people turning quite quickly without signaling.
I saw people slamming on the brakes, and honking their horns, and screaming at other people.
I think I know the reason why.
When the weather is terrible outside and you're feeling cold and uncomfortable in your car you have a desire to want to get out of that situation.
Therefore you will move a little bit faster, turn little bit quicker, and do just about anything to hurry to get you to your next destination.
This is very illogical thinking though.
Sometimes it takes longer to do something when you're hurrying then it does if you're going slowly.
Driving is a perfect example of this.
You could get in a wreck......... or any number of different terrible things could happen to you because you weren't paying attention because you were moving too quickly.
I don't know if it's a symptom of people being self absorbed or if everyone just has too many things going on at once these days.......
I do have to ask myself.....
Why do people drive more recklessly in bad weather?
