My concern is the first time idiots. No, I’m not talking about out of staters or fresh transplants… I’m talking about the 90% of people (even with green plates) who lose all experience with winter driving for the first snow storm. The same people who in February will be cruising along at highway speeds but first storm are sliding all over the place as they forget how snow affects steering and breaking.

They don’t take the time to get reacquainted with their steering and nearly bite it at every turn. They don’t think back on decades of braking in snow and try to stop like it is midsummer. And they don’t look at the sheet of white and think “well maybe other cars need room too”.
