having been the most well-traveled driver ever, I can affirm that Chicago drivers are as bad as or even worse than Albuquerque drivers.*
The only places that I liked how people drove when not in a bottle-neck were New York and Italy.
*The Kennedy/Dan Ryan/Stevenson are not just bad; if there is a rain drop or millimeter of snow, it's as if people forgot how to drive altogether
Can confirm.
Every Spring when it thaws out, they forget they've ever known precipitation and the cycle begins again.
"How on Earth do I continue driving in this deluge of drizzle!?!?!?"
Might I suggest driving normally, but pay attention to your stopping distance and grip on the road?
Ya know, the same fucking way you have the entire time you've been driving, which appears to have been when the Model-T came out.
Oddly, these same people will drive on snow/ice 5mph over the speed limit, sliding into ditches and shit because they think AWD conveys some universal form of friction that grips the road like its Summer.
AWD with snow tires is wonderful, you can do 15-30mph, safe and slow and move thru the snow like a tank, I've done it hundreds of times in my life.
AWD with snow tires does not mean you can get on I-57 and just kinda bump the cruise control to 80mph and take a nap, FFS.
