Another blustery, wintry day here in Michigan, reminding us once again that we are blessed to have (for the most part) three kinds of drivers: DWI, DWN and DWT.<\/p>\n
DWI<\/strong> \u2013 This person owns either an SUV, or full cab pickup with all-wheel drive.\u00a0 They\u2019re zipping along at least 10 mph over the speed limit, zigzagging in and out of traffic like it\u2019s a beautiful sunny day, obviously in a race to beat everyone else to wherever they\u2019re going.\u00a0 More often than not they end up in a snowbank or a ditch, which makes life safer for the rest of us because by doing so they’ve effectively taken themselves \u201cout of play.\u201d\u00a0 However, right up until that moment just before they go off the road, their attitude is that as long as they have their big vehicle with all-wheel drive, they are DWI, Driving While Invincible.<\/p>\n DWN<\/strong> are people like you and me.\u00a0 We\u2019ve brushed the all of the snow off the windows and are driving at a reasonably safe speed.\u00a0 Our gloved hands are at 10 and 2, and our phone is safely stowed away with the ringer turned off.\u00a0 We maintain the right amount of space between us and the car in front, and because of the conditions, we even left a little early in order to allow for a few extra minutes to get where we\u2019re going.\u00a0 We are DWN, Driving With Normalcy.<\/p>\n DWT<\/strong> \u2013 These poor people are woefully misguided, and\u2026 incredibly dangerous!\u00a0 Regardless of whether they\u2019re in your neighborhood, on Main Street, or on the expressway, they\u2019re driving along at 11 miles an hour with<\/em> their emergency flashers on.\u00a0 They\u2019re also flashing they\u2019re bright lights, and are likely to come to a complete stop at any moment for no apparent reason.\u00a0 They have one square foot of space cleared on their windshield, and are leaning forward to peer out of it because all the rest of their windows are completely covered with eight inches of snow.\u00a0 Obviously they should not be on the road, in fact, they probably shouldn\u2019t even own a car.\u00a0 And yet there they are, keeping everyone safe by keeping us all guessing as to just what in the world they might do next.\u00a0 They are DWT, Driving While Terrified.<\/p>\n I patiently await the return of temperate weather, longing for the simpler time of only having to deal with those who are DWSEDT \u2013 Driving While Singing, Eating, Drinking and Texting, or better yet, DWO \u2013 Driving While Oblivious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another blustery, wintry day here in Michigan, reminding us once again that we are blessed to have (for the most part) three kinds of drivers: DWI, DWN and DWT.
