This is too funny of a person walking around Seattle during the ice storm recording and even caught their own fall and slide sown a hill. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmh_AHWIaJz/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE=

Yes, that is my driveway covered in about an inch of ice. US2 highway pass has been closed for most of last week, the weekend and the start of this week. They plan to open it tomorrow after using scrappers to break up the 6 inches of ice that covered the road. This year has been a crazy winter so far and it is just starting.

I agree 1000% But at least in the US and Canada, our roadways and signage between our 2 countries also have some sort of standardization. So there is that. But like you have stated many times, the idiocy of drivers not driving well has nothing to do with not knowing English. And not getting into the French language thing in Quebec, not knowing French or English does NOT prevent you from knowing that this is a STOP sign. Even though its not written in English. Meaning its NOT a language issue. Its a RED octogon and in North America, in Canada and in the US at least, THAT means a car has to come to a full STOP at the intersection.. And a French only speaking Quebecker, a full force Quebec nationalist separatist hatin' on the Henglish, and will never ever learn to speak Hanglish, will visit New York from time to time, Plattsburgh or Burlington, but NEVER Ontario, will KNOW to stop at the bloody intersection when he/she will come across this sign http://static1.squarespace.com/static/53dd6676e4b0fedfbc26ea91/54b6c509e4b062126976d942/58f6664de6f2e1a8b587d19e/1492607075008/20353724820_239383b608_k.jpg?format=1500w More to it than that, I think any non-English speaking human coming from any part of a non-English speaking country actually knows the word STOP. But whether Canada and the US did not agree with European signages...we could all agree that this signage, in German, is kinda universal... Other than in the US where the speed limit of 30 KM/H would be written in MPH Canada The language written is not important and not necessary to understand what a driver really should be doing in this zone. In Germany, the US and Canada, the signage is pretty much the same even though North America's signage differs from the European system. And for good measure...in Japan And although I do not know what the writing is telling me, because I UNDERSTAND the picture that it might BE a school zone, maybe as a driver passing by this place, I should be slowling down to either 15 MPH or 30 KM/H... The issue is not of language spoken, but maybe of quality of driving... And...the American way of obtaining a driver's license is 3rd world bad. American driver's and Canadian, really arent taught HOW, to drive, HOW to master the car. We pump out drivers, but we dont TEACH them ANYTHING. If anything, @David maybe your issues with drivers is how shytty our respective countries dish out driver's licenses to ANYBODY. Its like you say, its a privilege and not a right. And its OUR drivers that are of concern. Its definetely not the German drivers from Germany, or the Nordic European drivers or even those from Japan and Korea. Those Countries TEACH their drivers how to control a car. India, China, US, Canada...ALL fail. But it aint because of the lack of English... Its because of lack of skill.

Crazy weather coast to coast. Washington after multiple snow storms is now covered in ice and no one going anywhere except idiots. Got up this morning to ice covered windows and yard. The fwd/rwd are crashing everywhere. My driveway @ 11am Sheet of ice.
