I crash the bottom of my car over the build up of snow between wheel ruts every day. I take a sort of perverse pride in the fact that of the thousands of cars that went over it mine is obviously the lowest since I scrape along it.

My 3rd winter. 14 hours a week on the 401. Never a single issue.
Drove through squalls yesterday. Did not crash!

I was driving from Aurora to GTA yesterday was crazy traffic, but was fun drifting trying to control the FRS with winter tires.

We should hit the reset button. I was only trying to get some mileage out of our previous misunderstanding.

Banter fail. No harm intended.

I pity you guys that have to drive that area at the best of times much less when it snows. I drive the London to Woodstock or London to Windsor 401 everyday but that is probably the best flowing sections of the whole corridor. Usually if you drop below 120 you risk getting rear ended through those stretches.

There's only one what to solve the problem and that is to move, if at all possible. It's only going to get worse.

I was exceedingly careful with some 29 degree mist last night (only slipped it on a u-turn ramp), but after seeing over 100 accidents reported this AM on a Saturday in the South, I don't care!

Came outside to find my front license plate and it's frame bent but the Perrin plate relocator perfectly fine, which boggles my mind.

Drove it in the epic suburban slush for a few hours, was kind of nerve racking when I was turning with other cars in the turnings lanes beside me and the rear is sliding. Although, I did not crash.
