I used to live on a So Cal mountain and have years of first hand experience with So Cal chain control. This is the actual requirement:

That was *your* Grand Am at every intersection in a snowstorm in Denver in 2003? My Subaru and I hate you. :)

This is absolutely the way to learn to drive in snow.

good times. First time I had a car with ABS (rental), I went to town on them on a long, straight 4 lane hill outside of Killington VT at 3am before the plows came through. Got an enormous amount of real-life experience within an hour that has paid for itself many times since.

Snap instantly. Trust me. Tried it. Failed. But, for my part, only in a parking lot.

“tire traction device”

Michigan simply dissolves your car with salt, so I doubt they would ever need chain laws.

I hope that the people in charge at the EPA and congress will take a trip to China so that they can see what happens when you don’t create and enforce environmental regulations.

just go down to your local bank and show them your white privilge card. you’ll instantly be granted a 60k/year salary

I think I missed the vast majority of wealth line, where do I get in on that?

What bugs me is people who use DRLs and think that means they have lights. From the rear they’re completely invisible. When the vis gets that bad lights are just non-negotiable.

This happens way too often.

Ah, ladies and gentlemen, behold the gaping californian hatchetwound

This bullshit about “slow down slow down slow down” just drives me crazy. SPEED IS NOT THE ISSUE. You can drive perfectly safely in pouring rain without any problems if you have good tyres, and you and everyone else are paying attention to what’s going on around you. I regularly do 150kmh+ in Germany in the rain…

Top notch trolling.

I grew up in New England and now drive in southern New York. In my experience people slow down to the speed limit in heavy rain, and go from that to pulled over with flashers on if it turns into a real monsoon. This is 1000X better than Arizona, where the reaction to rain is “SHIT MUST DRIVE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO GET…

Entering that store with a small female child is like going to a bar with an alcoholic who doesn't know he has a problem.
