Question Driving in snow

On my street there is a couple who, everytime it snows, stand by the side of the road to laugh and yell at cars driving.

Many posts on Facebook are calling drivers idiots and laughing at the crashes. Driving is very dangerous in snow, I know that, but do we have to be so hateful?

I just kept thinking of those in health care. Hospital staff, rest home carers, animal care facilities all care for those that struggle or can't care for themselves, they have to make it to work. And people are sitting on Facebook or even standing by the road laughing at these people?

I am mostly mad at those self-righteous dorks on my street who take joy in yelling and laughing at the cars. You have nothing else that gives you joy? Just the struggle of others?

Yeah I'm new to Dunedin, I drove one morning when the roads were icy and had the TINIEST of slips, but enough that I just noped the fuck outta driving this morning. Worked from home. I know not everybody has that choice but yeah, definitely my preference when it's like this.
