Here in Finland (northermost corner of the European Union) we have 3-5 months of icy driving weather per year, and people STILL get surprised by it! I don't get it. How does one's mind work if repetitive observations and experiences are a surprise?? When I had to choose, after estimating my long-term survival likelihood, I chose to learn to drive during the winter. It was not an easy or pleasant experience, yet I will recommend it to my kids when they grow old enough. And I will be gnawing my nails off every time one of them is taking a driving lesson, I'm sure...
