that would take away all the fun, wouldn't it?  but what's the
real rationale for the rule?

we had pretty bad ice here a week or two ago... while the rest of
the city was in a state of panic, i was having uneventful and
somewhat boring commutes...  provided i took the "treacherous"
routes where nobody dared venture to.  frankly i was far more
worried about getting rear ended by a f*** t**** than losing
control and spinning into a ditch.
