I tend to take the path less traveled, myself. The fastest route across the mountains to my family is also a hectic multi lane interstate where the drivers are rude, unpredictable, dangerous.
I take a less traveled two lane highway that has a few passing lanes, but for the most part you just settle in at a safe distance and enjoy the ride. When it is snowing heavily, I get behind the milk trucks that cross that pass and know that they will plow the way ahead.
In my impetuous youth I would yearn to pass any truck. Now I get it, they will hit any elk or deer, and those multiple wheels clear out a great deal of the slush and slop right ahead of me, almost as good as the plow truck.
