Warning, Dumb Drivers in Snow.

So today was not a very good day. I was sick over the weekend and still wasn't feeling very well this morning when I woke up. So in looking out the window and seeing how bad it was snowing, I just knew that if I dared venture out that something bad would likely to happen. Like Car accidents, slipping on campus, getting stuck inside a building, etc. But my husband wakes me up at 8:30am and says that I NEED to get out and pay some bills, and that it would be best to get them done in the morning. So not very happily I leave my warm bed.
I have a small talk with my mom, who's currently living with us, and munching on a donut, explaining how I need to leave for a little while to get things taken care of. On my way out to Ogden I notice that several lights between 29th and 36th are out on Washington Blvd. I know that at some point they're will be an accident, probably several accidents. There's accidents on good days, and with the snow and down lights, this just increases that likelyhood, because.... well I think many people on the driver ed test get this answer wrong. It's not like you need to get all of them right, right?
Yeah, I wasn't too far off.
I got through them fine the first time, and in 2 of the lights, of course I see people who don't treat them as a 4-way-stop, but fortunately for them, others were either being cautious, or weren't there. On my way back though, and get this the second light (you would think after the first down light that someone would know what to do), this girl slows down, but starts to go through with the car ahead of her, with all of the lanes full of people needing to go. So yes, a car going the perpendicular way that vision was blocked by a boxed delivery truck, get's T-Boned by this girl. luckily they weren't going at high speeds, there were some cuts from shards of glass hitting the guy in the face. But other than that, they seemed to be fine. It kinda irked me that someone who said he saw the whole thing, but that he vision was blocked from the boxed truck as well, said that he saw the girl stop, but wait... I thought he vision was blocked from her point. Oh well. I guess that's what he though he saw.
Anyway, after I get done helping with that. I'm coming back, being cautious, and as I'm stopped at a red light coming left onto 1900 from Riverdale (in Roy), everythings fine, then.....wham. I'm hit from behind.
At first I thought that maybe the guy behind me was hit from behind him and he then hit me. But as I put the car in park, and go to check on the guy, he looks at me kinda confused, puts his car in reverse then accellerates and hits a van behind him. This guy is in his late 80's -early 90's. I can tell that he feels bad and that he's concerned, but I'm concerned about what else he may do. So I call 911(again) and let them know. It was kinda funny because the cops didn't know where the accident was, not to say that it looked like an accident besides my hazards being on, but they must have circled the intersection a few times before me calling 911 again and waving them down finally caught their attention. The guy appologized, but I didn't see him leave with the rest of us. He had mentioned as my mom came to get me (just because I wasn't feeling good, and was a little shocky) that he didn't want to loose his driver's licence. I feel bad, but I really don't think he's coherent enough to be driving. Anyway, that's what's up today. I just wish people knew how to drive in bad weather and downed traffic lights.
