I'm not sure I agree. If the only time perole's driving skills are used is during the most treacherous time to be driving, that will be scary.

I already avoid driving during the first snow storm of the season because, after six months, people have inevitably forgotten that ice is slippery (seriously, it a frightening and dangerous to be on the roads during the first storm!). Now factor in the fact nobody has driven at all during the last six months and it will be exceedingly messy.

The Twin Cities (MN) two year ago had about 400 accidents during the big blizzard at the start of the year. I hesitate to think what would have happened if those folks hadn't had to drive all summer.
