DP here:
You’re telling me the right etiquette for when a car has issues in a snow storm is for all other traffic to stop, thereby likely causing more people to get stranded? That doesn’t sound right. [/quote]

If a car is stuck in the middle of two lanes, and others are trying to help them get out then yes, their safety is paramount. Otherwise you’re going to have a car stuck in the middle of the road with minimal visibility, no warning to oncoming traffic, and large trucks traveling. That could cause a much larger accident. Waiting 10 or even 30 minutes is not that difficult if everyone can get out safely. OP thinks her tires are going to freeze in 25-30 degree weather after 5 freaking minutes. She’s honking, driving aggressively, blocking emergency vehicle lanes because she was impatient, road raging, and rather than pulling around to help out she gets the h out of dodge. She certainly doesn’t understand the local culture. She was ill prepared and too inexperienced to be driving on the mountain in the WV snow and shouldn’t have been there to begin with. [/quote]
