A ND Highway Patrol Trooper Just Broke The Internet

The North Dakota Highway Patrol is trying to teach us all how to drive in the winter.

A trooper who is a Gen Xer like myself has recently gone viral over his how-to drive in the winter video, speaking specifically to Gen Zers. How viral has this video gone? He just about broke the internet; that's how many clicks this thing has gotten.

At last check on the North Dakota Highway Patrol Facebook page, this video has received over 25,000 likes, over 1,000 comments, and over 9,500 shares.

I've watched this video several times, and to be honest, I need a translator.

I recognize a few of these, like "I'm shuck" (refers to deceive or to trick), "so cringe" (refers to awkward, uncool, or embarrassing), and there is even a six-seven reference. I think we could have all done without that. Well, give a listen for yourself, and let's see if you can make heads or tails out of this language better than I.

This Highway Patrol officer has 27 years of experience.

Well done, Trooper Pulver, and I, for one, applaud you for trying to bridge the generation gap, even though I have no idea what the hell you said. I especially applaud you for trying to teach us all how to drive better this winter. Let's face it, we have a lot of BAD drivers in North Dakota, it's so cringe. That's some pretty fluent Gen-Z, sir, well played.

Now, if we could only get the people in this state to use their damn blinker. Six-seven for God's sake.
