Always entertaining to see FWD cars with winter tires veering to left and right on uphills and then claiming on RFD that AWD is not necessary for Canadian winters. Enjoy your FWD cars while i enjoy watching you struggling behind your wheels.

FWD = forward wheel drive?
AWD = all wheel drive?
How does that help? I've tried using both during yesterday, didn't see much of a difference.
Isn't it only useful when you get stuck?

Every winter it's the same. More than half of the drivers in the GTA don't have winter tires. Some drive too fast in snow, others drive too slow.
The worst is one with all season tires will little thread left. I was following a white pickup yesterday in 10cm of snow and he couldn't get any traction. He spun out when he tried to lane change and ended up blocking the entire two-lane road. Drivers were honking at him.

Some people who buy (lease) such cars really can't afford them. There's an Escalade on my street that literally has bald tires because the owner can't afford new ones. Something tells me that guy doesn't have an RRSP either.

The HTA should be updated, when news call for at least 1cm of snow, non-winter tire equipped cars should drive on the right lane, winter tire equipped cars will be driving on the passing lane (left lane) as they will be always passing in those conditions.

AWD is not necessary for Canadian winters. Knowing how to drive and having proper tires is.kooroshkabir wrote: ↑Always entertaining to see FWD cars with winter tires veering to left and right on uphills and then claiming on RFD that AWD is not necessary for Canadian winters.

Wow...a lot of anger. Maybe I was the only one who had fun yesterday, I was expecting a slow commute to begin so I looked forward to every corner since I'm in a RWD sports car which makes it fun. Plus its kind of funny passing people who are struggling with fatso CUVs with relative ease in a car that seems bad for this weather.

I often wonder how many of these drivers going too fast/too slow or spinning out by hitting the brakes at the wrong time, are the same ones who come on here and ask "where is the easiest place to pass driving test?".

It was a one lane street with a bikelane to the side going under the train tracks. Only a 40km/h zone and I was driving around that speed. After I switch to the left lane to turn, he honked me and sped off past the intersection.skwigglyline wrote: ↑why do you think you got honked at and what lane were you driving in?

Really wish car control was part of the curriculum/testing for our licensing. I pull my hair out every time I drive, and unfortunately for me I drive a lot (I drive about 450km/week).
I also really wish that drivers can't go beyond traffic speed, rather than a set limit. Of those 450km/week I only see one or two crazy drivers that weave in and out of traffic speeding, but I see 3-4 extremely hesitant drivers daily that do 20km/hr under traffic which is just as dangerous or more as everyone is trying to pass them or they're holding up traffic or they pull some unexpected lane change.

Last night I'm driving in a 40kph zone behind a Corolla that was doing 20kph. 30kph would have been more appropriate. The road was a standard subdivision two lane road. Some A-hole in his huge black SUV decides to pass both of us at 60-70 kph and has to swerve back on the proper side of the road to avoid a head on collision and then he did the same manoeuvre again and almost went head on into another oncoming car.KevC wrote: ↑Really wish car control was part of the curriculum/testing for our licensing.

How I wish the guy lost control and wrote off his vehicle (while not injuring anybody of course). I would have taken the day off with no pay to testify in court.
