Sledding in Port Perry yesterday, headed home around 7pm, heavy winds and blowing snow along with some icy sections. No biggy, all is fine, well until my lil group of five cars come up on Johnny P Panic Driver. You know the guy, drives a Prius on all season tires, hazard lights flashing, all windows fogged up and driving at a max 40k. Doin ok until we are headed down the hill on 7a into town when a sudden gust of wind mixed with snow causes Johnny to panic who immediately turns the brake pedal inside out n stops dead in the middle of the road causing couple cars behind to do some fancy maneuvers to avoid hitting him. WTF Johnny, he's the exact kind of driver who turns sudden white outs into a smash fest.

Went through the same thing on my trip to and from the Soo last week. Add in Johnny's cousin was driving a white SUV in a whiteout without his full lighting system on. I hate Johnny and his extended family.

Best part about Johnny, Joey, Jenna and the rest of him fam, worse the road conditions the more they feel compelled to get out there and drive.

Hate this.

Was in London on Saturday when a squall went threw and it turned into mayhem.

A 4lane road turned into two as people started driving down the middle. Either had no lights on or 4 ways flashing for no reason. I couldn’t gtfo fast enough.

Are J-dogs relatives the same folks I keep seeing out and about thinking DRL's = Headlights and Running Lights? Driving home with our New Years Eve dinner I saw at least 4 folks rolling around covert ops style, one of which had pulled out and stopped midway in oncoming traffic, again with fogged to hell windows and a look of sheer confusion.

^Johnny sucks...I wanna go fast.

Johnny is more of a danger than Ricky Bobby or Cal Naughton Jr.

A closely related cousin to Johnny is Bobby, who drives way too fast, believing his 3 ton SUV is exempt from the laws of physics. From 1989 to 2004(and about 5 times since) we drove every year to Florida and back in January. Some years the weather was ...not great. There were always a few cars that slithered off the road into the median, or the shoulders because they went out of control. Almost invariably they were 4x4 SUV's. People seem to think that they can steer and stop on ice exactly the same as on dry pavement.

And since we're talking about idiot drivers how about left lane bandits. The other day I was on the 404 south and went into the HOV lane, only to find myself behind a lovely Audi doing 65 KPH. Bright sunshine, dry roads.

4 wheel drive is intended to get you out of the snowbank you just slid into.

That’s probably because they were trying to avoid Johnny!

I drive my 4x4 like that, lol, but I also drove my old fwd like that.....I got places to go, and I’m on flat rate!
