And then there are the jerks who pass me when I am waiting for the traffic jam ahead to clear.
This story happened on the road, not while skiing:
We received an intense early snow storm at the end of September up on Kootenay Pass in southern British Columbia. Being early, the snow was wet and greasy. Driving to the top of the pass, I encountered a pick-up truck pulling a travel trailer that was stuck on the road and was unable to get started even though he had 4WD. I stopped some distance behind him because I though he might need to back up. I left my truck and walked up to see what was going on and if I could offer any help. After I returned to my truck, a small front-wheel-drive car came up the road, passed my truck and then pulled in behind the travel trailer. Then he tried to get going again to pass the truck and trailer. Nada. Spinning the front wheels just caused the front of the car to slide sideways away from the crown toward the ditch. Instant karma.
Having checked with the driver of the truck pulling the trailer, I easily moved around both the small front-wheel-drive car and the truck and trailer (my truck is a 3/4 ton 4x4, already equipped with snow tires, despite the early date).
Situational awareness is a Good Thing.
