Are People Crazy ?

Okay.... for those of you who do not know Canada, it is winter here now. bbrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Well, technically winter is still a week or two away, but you would never have guessed just by looking at the amount of snow on the ground.
So here I am... taking extra care... being extra cautious... as I drive up the DVP amidst all this slushy snow.


This is what the DVP looked like this morning.

btw., the speed limit for the DVP is 90 kmh... and that is for IDEAL weather conditions.

  This is what the DVP looks like on a good day with ideal weather condition.

Well... wouldn't you know it... here came this silly looking Honda, the driver clutching a lipstick in one hand when BOTH her hands should be clutching the steering wheel, zooming and zipping along... cutting everybody off (especially careful me... which is what upset me so much in the first place), as though she is on a race track on a bright sunny summer afternoon.
Really... it has nothing to do with the fact that my car is an antiquated jalopy; nor does it have anything to do with the fact that, in truth, I AM naturally a slow driver and proud of it, as I'd rather think of myself as a careful driver, or at least a defensive one. Good Grief !!! I have, believe it or not, been issued a traffic ticket for driving too slowly in a 40 km zone.
Anyway, here is my grief ...
Are people, (a.k.a. the woman in that Honda on the DVP) really that stupid ???
How the @&$%# did people like that get the license to operate a motor vehicle which may be metamorphorsed into a lethal weapon of death and destruction!!!
And what's with those driving instructors and testers???
What were thinking when these nut cases come to take their tests ???

Is there anybody out there who can enlighten me ?
