I drove over 50 from Sac on Saturday afternoon - ridiculous as usual. I took Luther Pass through Hope Valley and 88 to get back to Carson simply due to the sheer idiocy on the highway starting at Kyburz.

We had to wait for about 15min to allow accident clearing, during which time some lady asks me "do I put chains on the front or the back?" My reply, "put them on the drive wheels" got a blank look, so she went to go ask the CalTrans flagger, who said "I don't know, what kind of car do you have?" HAHAHAHA.

Then, a circa 89 VW hatch took the front of the line at Strawberry, slapped on the hazards, and proceeded to drive at 15-20mph the ENTIRE way to Tahoe. As I was 10 cars back, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it (without a high-powered rifle). Cruising over Luther at 40-50 through the powder was refreshing.

Why do these people insist on driving AFTER several days of weather warnings?
