this last bit is bullshit

 

it doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, anything can be decent in the snow as long as you drive correctly and put the right tires on

 

I drive a powerful rear-wheel-drive car and I live in the north

 

I have not crashed

 

I have all-season tires like everyone else in the world

 

Well from what I saw A LOT of 2 wheel drive cars weren't able to drive because there was no traction because of the snow.   

 

Where here in the northeast ( phillypa)  I have about 15 inches of snow on the grass and about 5 1/2 feet of snow on sides of my drive way from shoveling and 4 feet along the street from plows

 

its to the point another snow storm within 1-2 weeks and its gonna be like where do we put it

 

 

 

funny the south bitching bout little bit of snow  and Southern Driver's can't drive in snow cause they flip omg omg  its snow   what to do lol

I went out side 2 days ago. It was SUNNY and 80degrees. U jelly Anywhere that's not califonia? ;)

If you don't live down south then you don't know how much snow we get. Also we got 5 and 1/2 inches. I understand that you might get more but that's because of where you live. And now there is black ice all over our roads.

 

 

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

 

Please... Here in wisconsin we got a ice storm and then it snowed. So there was a thin sheet of ice all over the roads with snow on top that couldn't be removed. No excuse for driving like a dumb ass and causing accidents, think a little common sense would tell you if you never driven in snow before maybe go half the speed limit. 

 

The difference between Wisconsin and the south is. When we get a lot of snow that we know will be a challenge to us, we stay home. But with you guys who have never driven in the snow before you go out and be dumb asses and kill people. Fucking stay home, driving in the snow isnt something you learn over night...

You'll probably do what New England does. Pile it up in dump trucks, drive to the ocean, dump it in the water. 

No winter lasts forever. No spring skips its turn.

I know in Florida (not sure about other states), there are no required car inspections. In New York, your car has to be inspected every year. One of the things that is inspected is the tread on your tires. If you have no tread, you'll have no traction. If everyone in the south is driving around with bald tires because there are no inspections, then there's one of your problems.

No winter lasts forever. No spring skips its turn.

Arctic/polar winters are year round,  spring is by definition. New England doesn't have spring, as far as I'm concerned. We have mud season, which is still cold but the ground is wet and mushy, then summer comes in June/July..

The other night it stormed windy as hell then it rained, then all the slush turned to ice yesterday & today, I winched 3 cars out of exits of parking lots yesterday on the same street in 20 minutes, my opinion, you can drive a 4WD or AWD vehicle but what's funny is, I see more of those vehicles in ditches rather then RWD or FWD vehicles, my CVPI is RWD (obviously) and it's doing fine (minus my girlfriend driving it into the back of my tow truck), I will always stick to this & I tell people all the time, that if you can't drive the conditions, call in sick & stay home where your better off, nervous drivers make it dangerous for everyone including emergency personnel that HAVE to be out on highways BECAUSE these people don't know any better, people going 20-30KM under the speed limit is also dangerous, I am a professional driver, I am not an arrogant person by any means, but I am VERY arrogant about my driving because I know I'm a good driver & my driving record proves that, I have no problem going 110KM/H in a 110KM/H zone in a snow storm whereas I see people going 50-60KM/H in a 110KM/H zone, I know what my tow truck is capable of doing same with my car & I know how to handle the power of both, luckily my wrecker has duallies with the boom on the back that even everything out.

It doesn't matter how good of a driver you think you are. Things happen to everyone. How can you say it is safe to drive nearly 70 MPH (I'm converting your speed) through a snow storm? You know why accidents happen? Because of people like you who think, "I'm the best, that will never happen to me." Your driving record doesn't prove shit. Just because you have not been pulled over or been in an accident in less than 10 years of driving (assuming the age on your profile is accurate) doesn't mean you never will.

I know in Florida (not sure about other states), there are no required car inspections. In New York, your car has to be inspected every year. One of the things that is inspected is the tread on your tires. If you have no tread, you'll have no traction. If everyone in the south is driving around with bald tires because there are no inspections, then there's one of your problems.

 

In NC you MUST get your car inspected every year. And yes they do check the traction on tires. (Get facts rigth befor posting your comments that might offend others) The main reason why there way so many crashes was because the number of people that got off work right after the snow started, I know because I saw the whole thing.

I'm not going to research what states require inspections so I don't somehow offend you, since I don't see how that is offensive... People in the north get off of work and drive through snow, too. Every winter. It's understandable that people are less experienced and less prepared for snowy roads down there, though. You shouldn't have to worry about snow. There should still be common sense to drive safer, though.

I was in a roll over accident in Ontario a few years ago & when I was first starting out, indeed things happen, but I'm not a nervous driver by any means, I don't "think" I am a good driver, I know I am, & FYI your driving record does prove how you drive get's you employment & cheaper insurance, seeing as my record is clean, I don't really know what that "people like you" remark is all about, I don't think I'm the best at anything, but if I was at all a nervous driver I wouldn't be doing what I do, I'm going into snow storms to pull people like you out of ditches because you don't know enough to stay home, it's called driving the conditions my friend, learn how, or stay off the roads, plain and simple.

 

EDIT: & FYI driving the posted speed limit is not illegal in a snow storm, if I can drive it, there should be no reason why I can't.

I never said  it offends me but it might others....The thing that i'm getting tired of is all those northeners saying stuff like southeners can't drive and that we never see snow and we can't drive in snow. After a while you start to get a bit mad and upset

 

All that I have to say.

Lmao. Go NY!!
