Jeez, what a bunch of wimps. Just get out there and enjoy the challenge.

I find it easier to steer the faster I go up to a point, as the momentum keeps the car moving through the smaller snowdrifts. I came home last night doing 75kph on the 401 without sliding once. On the side roads I slowed to 50kph and kept extra distance between me and the vehicles in front.

The worst part was the off/on ramps where the plows had blocked them by pushing the snow across them. I saw dozens of stuck vehicles in them.

'Drive it like you stole it', is my advice

HH

And another tailgating bully I would guess.

Far from, I constantly moan at the wife for driving to close. There's a big difference being capable of driving quickly in varying conditions and driving dangerously.

My rally driving days hold me in good stead to be able to control a car in the snow and ice. My suggestion to those who heven't had the experience, go out, find an empty parking lot and learn how to control your vehicle properly before taking to the roads.

As I said ENJOY the challenge.

Its one thing to say enjoy the challenge, its another to insult and call me a wimp.

Well done.

Plenty of nervous drivers and overconfident drivers on the roads round here today. Most people were keeping their distance but sadly not everybody. One slip can (and has) take out several vehicles at a time so driving within your capabilities is important but will not necessarily always save you. No doubt the carnage on the roads will be all over the local papers and I am thankful to be home for the holidays in one piece, no matter how comfortable I feel with my equipment and skills.

well done Fled!

We arrive in Van on the 11th - its doesnt snow much here they said - PAH!!!!

The main roads are fine - I decided to venture to Trout Lake to walk the dogs a bit - - all ok - till I made the silly mistake of trying the car park - stuck - in a little Matrix hire car with no snow tyres!!

ooops

Luckily the nice man in the house nest door to the car park came out with a shovel and dug me out! one v embarrased Carri - I blmaed it on being a Brit and new to the country!

Blimey, acutely sensitive too. Maybe you'll grow out of it someday.

I think that statement says more about you than it does me.

Yes you tell him....a female would be a whimpette

Maybe, what would you call someone who's too scared to go and drive in a little bit of snow?

Why are you being so obnoxious and confrontational? Why are you so busy trying to prove how big and brave you are??

Nice way to try and turn it around.

So answer the question then. Why are you posting? You have given no helpful advice or suggestions, all you do is insult and stir.
