Just because you have a 4x4 doesn't mean you can stop on a dime on sheer ice.

In the words of Jack Johnson: "Slow down everyone, you're moving too fast."
In nine days of working EMS, I've been to six car accidents. I thought about that statistic and came to a conclusion. We are all in too much of a hurry. We drive everywhere like the roads are dry pavement and we are on the highway and we are extremely late. What's the rush? Is it just Christmas that brings this frenzied madness to do everything twice as fast, or are people like this all year round? Whatever it is, people need to learn to take things slow and treasure what's really important. Because if the head on collision doesn't kill you, the high blood pressure and heart attack you're about to give yourself will definitely do the job.
Christmas is so warped. This is supposed to be a holiday to remember how we became free, and we spend the time spending money in over crowded shopping malls, spoiling bratty children, and freaking out over exams. Anyways, I didn't mean to start preaching. Just, next time you're in a hurry, think if what you're going to is really worth your life. It's bad enough going to car accidents that could've easily been prevented without it being someone I know.
