I have a fear of falling on the ice underneath the snow and someone seeing me do it then never recovering from the embarrassment of random strangers I will never see again having witnessed the moment :V

I agree with that, falling over and having random strangers help you back up is seriously embarrassing. I'm also worried that the fall would break something and I'd end up in hospital.

While I fall all the time I think the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me in public is when it was super wet outside from snow and slush, a car drove past me incredibly fast when I was walking to school and sprayed me all over with icy cold slush and I had no choice but to go to school that way.

That must have been a horrible experience. On the road I used to walk along on my way to work was this section where the drain was often partly blocked and so when there was heavy rain a HUGE puddle formed so in wet weather I always checked to make sure there were no cars coming before I passed that bit of road.

(In the UK drivers can be prosecuted for soaking pedestrians.)

12,610 injuries have been attributed to road rage over a seven-year period in the United States. Approximately 1 person is killed in a road rage incident every 18 hours.

That's quite disturbing.  In the UK approximately 2 people a week lose their lives due to road rage, but there's not as many cars on the road in the UK as there are in the US.

I've upset a few drivers because they didn't think I was making fast enough progress, but I try to keep calm and don't react or do anything to upset them further so thankfully I've never been the subject of a road rage attack.  You'd probably like driving in my area because our council decided to impose a 20MPH speed limit across the whole borough, so driving is quite leisurely, but it upsets some types of road users and I've been overtaken in quite dangerous ways, one day there's going to be a fatal head-on collision caused by impatient drivers.

That doesn't surprise me the way some people act. I've seen lots of people step out into the road and too busy looking at their phones to check for oncoming traffic.  Only yesterday I had a biker turn in front of me instead of after I'd cleared the junction, fortunately I have good reactions and my car has good brakes. The guy had to decency to look shocked and give me a smile and a friendly wave, I think he realised how close he came to spending Christmas Day in a hospital bed.
