Today is your day Boomer! What are they....the annual Darwin Awards, when people just do dumb, dumb things? This was the case yesterday in BC's Lower Mainland when a big snowfall hit and people were trying to make their way to work. First of all, to even try driving on bad, icey roads with summer or those-dreaded "all-season" tires is stupid....but then something else was happening too! Look at the picture and realize that commuters, in a rush, just didn't clear enough snow from their vehicles for good visibility....and they weren't thinking about people in cars around them. For example, 150 vehicles were stopped by Burnaby police in just three hours. Police let 125 of the drivers go with a verbal warning, on the condition that they clean the snow off their cars before proceeding, though 16 people were issued written warnings. Six drivers’ poor snow removal was serious enough to warrant a ticket for driving with an obstructed view — a $95 hit to the pocketbook — while three were ticketed for having their licence plate obscured by snow, which carries a $200 fine. And one driver was ticketed for excessive speeding, after being caught driving 101 km/h on icy roads in a 50 km/h zone. Yikes.....dumb and dumber, as the movie title goes! Boomers, it is January and WINTER! Please be road ready before you venture forth. Cheers.
