A Driving in snow test should be given to all those that are going to be driving anywhere that snow might fall.

I was born and raised in Western New York and for those of you who are unfamiliar with that area i will give you a couple cities that might jog your memory , cities such as Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls; these cities strike snow fear into the most experienced snow driver. I came down here for a job but found that people down in Maryland do not know how to drive in the snow. The people of Pennsylvania are not far behind as far as driving in the snow. Both are not experienced with snow protocol . I am not saying that these are the only people who should be snow tested. Everyone who drives in snow need to be tested. People need to be taught that 4 wheel drive is no better than two wheel drive on ice, Yet in an ice storm these people with four wheel drive go speeding down the road and when ask why they were going so fast after going into a ditch these people say that they have four wheel drive. I have never observed so many people pull their cars over to the side of the road and walk away. Worse yet there are those people that will just stop their car get out and walk away. Why do these people do this? They do not know how to drive in the snow or the ice. There are many people who do not know that if a town is in a state of emergency it is against the law to travel on those streets unless you absolutely have to. If all were schooled in what to do and how to drive in snow it would save many people problems and would also save money for insurance companies, towns and ultimately the other drivers on the road.
