Everybody that I talk to all agree. Billings has become a terrible place to drive. Heck, last week there were more than 400 wrecks on the snow in one day in Montana. And right now if your car gets wrecked and is undrivable, you're months away from being able to get it into a body shop...
You knew it was coming sooner or later. The first big snowstorm of the year is coming, starting tonight, and I'm going to tell you all of the things that you will hear tomorrow somewhere in Montana.

I had a conversation with a very kind man. He told me he had an awful experience while driving the other day and I felt absolutely sympathetic to him; I've experienced the same thing while driving on Billings' roads.

On Facebook, there's a group called "Billings Reckless Drivers." People go on here and complain about the things that other drivers do...
Hit and runs are some of the most ridiculous things a person can do. My wife had this happen to her when we lived in Memphis and they never found the person that hit her. Quite frustrating considering my insurance company and I had to pay for all of the repairs...
