Seriously? Ice on Your Car?! Are We That Clueless?
You know, Im just sitting here, marveling at the sheer ingenuity of humanity. We’ve landed probes on Mars, split the atom, and invented avocado toast. Yet, apparently, some among us still believe that slapping a cursory swipe of windshield wipers across a sheet of ice constitutes acceptable vehicle operation. Apparently, we need the Virginia State Police to warn us – warn us! – about something so fundamentally basic it should be etched into our DNA.
A box truck! A box truck had its windshield obliterated by a rogue chunk of glacial debris. I mean, come on! Its not rocket science. If you can’t see out your window, don’t drive. Is that really so difficult to comprehend? Are we waiting for someone to be seriously injured before we collectively grasp the concept of personal responsibility and basic common sense?
I picture the driver, nonchalantly saying, “Yeah, a little ice…whats the big deal?” while shards of glass rain down on his cargo. Because apparently, visibility isn’t important anymore. Efficiency is! Get to work faster, even if it means risking life and limb – or worse, damaging a box truck.
Honestly, I expect better. But then again, expecting anything reasonable from the general public these days feels like setting yourself up for disappointment. Just…scrape your windshield. Please. For everyone’s sake.
