It is December 9th and we finally got our first snow fall of the year here in Toronto. This is not something un-expected, usually we have our first snow fall in November. We were warned about this as a winter storm 10-15 cm’s accross the GTA we had lots of warning. Yet for some odd reason people still havent put snow tires on there car yet. This morning it took me 1 hour to get to work, usually this takes me 20 minutes. People on the road were slowly moving along at about 20 kms or lower. Though I complain about people driving too fast this is a situation when people were driving too slow. I understand its better to be safe then sorry, however most of these people I noticed were driving these cars that shouldnt even be on the road. Rear wheel drive Lexus on low profile all season tires, or Infiniti G35’s, or Hyundai Genesis all without snow tires. These people should not be drving these cars in this weather. Your holding up traffic and your going to cause a damn accident.
I driving a Jeep with brand new All Terain tired cut through the snow like a hot knife through butter. Unfortunately there was so much traffic i couldnt get around anyone and was stuck behind all these slow ass holes. Again im all for being safe but really this is actually dangerous, these cars shouldnt be driving in the snow anyway.
At one point I got my Jeep 4×4 up to 100 kms when traffic broke I began passing everyone in and out of lanes shooting snow all over everyone. I know they were yelling in there cars (fuckin asshole) but I have 4×4 I have a Jeep and I have brand new all terain tires on it. It would take a whole lot to make me slide even going at 100kms an hour.
If your going to drive through the winter in your sports car at least buy some winter tires. If not take it off the road. If not purchase an SUV, a real SUV one that haas 4×4 .. not AWD,,or 4×2 or 4 matic or anything else. People dont understand the difference.
4×4 means that your 4 wheels all move at the same time no matter what. People with All wheel drive vehicles think that they are the same. No they are not, AWD other then Subaru and some others transfer power to the wheels that are not slipping. Its good on gas to do that but its a false sense of safety.
Im going to get a sticker made for the back window of my Jeep that says ….
ON WEEKENDS I RESCUE:
HUMMER’S
MERCEDES
BMW’S
CRV’S OR HONDA PILOTS
Dude your SUV sucks, its made to haul groceries you soccer mom
