People who have never lost traction have no idea how much grip is lost in the wet, if you've never found the limit then you think you are invincible, it's an easy mistake to make. I bet everyone posting here has been stupid about something they had no experience in until they got smacked upside the head by reality.
Shame that it's allowed to happen for people getting behind the wheel of a 2 ton missile. Blah blah blah better driver education whatever. Proper following distance and road visibility are key, you can fly down the freeway safely at 80mph with a modern well maintained car in the wet as long as the visibility is there and the traffic isn't. |

I grew up where we got a lot of snow. We learned how to drive in it and somehow survived with snow tires and RWD, not ABS, VDC or other nannies. We just drove with a little common sense. Now I live in KS and we don't really get a lot of snow. Seems that we have two types of drivers. They go 20 under the speed limit if it starts flurrying with a death grip on the steering wheel and the wipers on full high or 20 over in there SUV in the icy snow packed roads passing everyone and ending up upside down in the ditch. Once I counted about 15 on the way to work

I can give you a german perspective.
Maybe they are the ones with proper winter tyres? Ive been in Minnesota last year when the first snow hit, and usually the ones that ended up in the ditch had theese fucking useless All Season Crap Mounted. I looked in some parking lots - 90% all Season. Even my fucking Rental had them, and i had to carry the thing. |

Yeah that is the case. I used to be a delivery driver for 6 years in Southern California but it was crazy how people would freak out, like driving in the rain is a new thing lol. I would watch my speed when I was driving and there were times I would go slower cause the rain would hit harder in some parts of the freeway. |
