Item: Getting There: Winter brings out the worst in local drivers/Mike Prager, SR

More Info: It’s not as if this bad driving is without consequence. Ask the hundreds of people who were caught in backups Wednesday on Interstate 90 in Spokane and Post Falls. If they were lucky, being delayed was the worst of it. Consider the little boy who lay injured in a wrecked vehicle for a period of time while firefighters and medics tended to him, Briggs said. Someone approaching the Division Street exit made an abrupt lane change, triggering the accident and causing a massive backup eastbound on Wednesday afternoon.

Question: Why are drivers in this region such lousy winter drivers?
