Author Topic: Any User Who Drives, Be Careful This Winter  (Read 1933 times)

as an arizona citizen i'd think ice and snow would be dangerous asf
slipping on ice into the middle of an intersection at a red light or a stop sign or something aaaah

There can be ice and snow in Arizona. Just look at Flagstaff. It's not THAT bad unless you really don't know how to drive in winter weather conditions. But yeah, in Phoenix I wouldn't even consider driving, not because of the weather but because nobody would know how to drive in that kind of weather.

it's even worse if you're on foot trying to get across an unsanded frozenass sidewalk - there's assloads of them in my city, and they forgeted up lots of people, myself included.


I ride a motorcycle, so basically I'm forgeted if I slip or someone else slips and hits me.

frontWD master race

This guy I work with drives a truck and was talking stuff about the focus I drive saying it's small and will slide all around and stuff. His truck is of course a RWD car and when he had to go up this hill to leave the parking lot he slid all over the place and it took him like 5 minutes to get out. With my FWD I went up the hill no problem, I got a giggle out of it. A RWD truck is the worst thing you can drive in any other weather than when it's anything other than ideal conditions

I almost got in a fender-bender with a Buick last week. I had just come around a corner going ~50mph onto my street when it pulled out of a driveway (surrounded by trees, I'm not blind). We both immediately hit our brakes. I didn't swerve out of the way or anything but I had to cross over into the oncoming lane to get around the car. Luckily no one was there and nothing happened.

The back of my van is packed with over 200lbs of sand bags to give more weight over the rwd. Bad for gas mileage, but more weight over those tires certainly works. No excuse to not be careful and keep an eye out though.


Um, I live in florida and what is this "cold weather"?
something we get rather than the hurricanes

I've had a pretty nasty winter this year because it's been fairly warm, and the ice has constantly been melting and freezing over and over.

Aside from the roads being littered with potholes that didn't exist a month ago, parts of the highway have portions of inch thick ice on one half of the road, and none on the other. And at night it's absolute terror to drive on.

if you have rwd sandbags are a life saver
