Watched a SUV go flying past me on the Merritt Parkway years ago when it was snowing hard and fast covering the roadway big time. Snow had already accumulated and trucks yet to clear.

There i was, in the right lane crawling in a company car (Ford Focus Wagon- all season tires) just taking it easy with this horrible car and conditions when a SUV in left lane flew by me.

As I was crawling, I watched the SUV all of a sudden cross over to right lane and continue into the woods. No heavy damage to it, the fool got out fine but seemed pissed off (gee, wonder why🤔).

Now, driving a Subaru Outback, no problem in snow and can travel at parkway/thru way speed levels without issue.

I just wish anyone in a poor vehicle not good in snow just learn to keep right and take their time as opposed to attempting faster travel that results in them spinning off sideways in front of us who know how to drive in snow.

Its the local roads where I find those who know or not know how to drive in snow and see them crash into poles, signs or off the road.
