Are you bold or are you a mouse?

I admit it. I am a mouse. I am not a speedster when I drive on ice. No thank you. The roads were sweet and clear this morning. This afternoon the skies turned ucky gray. Then I look out the window.... white. Snow. I walked out to check on the hens. Slippery. I had the afternoon-evening drive in to get hubby. I cleared the car off, crept down the driveway. Got out to walk across the road to get the mail and check out the road surface. It didn't look terrible. OH no. Ice. I wish I'd brought the dragon cane. I made it but knew that I would NOT break speed limits on going to get hubby. I drove 20 mph on my little road. Others zipped around me. If my feet slip on a surface, my little car sure would. I then drove about 30 on the main drag. I slowed down further to head into the parking lot and yup, car made unhappy noises as the studded tires grabbed the road best they could. Sun was almost down when I slowly steered us into the driveway. Out here that is a huge deal cause there are no lights except for car lights. I was grateful for the bit of twilight. So I am not a bold driver. I just can not understand those who roar around on ice. I really do not have that confidence in the vehicle. Maybe its a character flaw.
