>I have crashed twice driving in snow/ice

>>16181764
My first winter with RWD, anything special with snow driving that isn't "like road but slippery"?

>>16181776
I went into a ditch twice my first year driving and haven't had a single problem since.

>>16181784
It's like the road but slippery. Take it slow if you have to and don't try to brake if you already don't have traction.

live in CO OP?

We got our first snow yesterday and everyone seems to have forgotten how to drive (or didn't put their winter set on yet?). There was barely anything on the roads and we were crawling at 10 mph home from work last night

Same. Don't have dedicated winters, just quality mud and snows. It'll be a good winter, I enjoy cold weather and I like helping people out.

On the other hand, suns out and warming up already. Such is life in the best state.

I'll second that Utah opinion.

Pic related is a bigass parking lot at one of the marinas at Pineview Reservoir, up Ogden canyon.

Amazing drive, shame that parking lot is officially 100% pay to enter, and the cops patrol it better than they used to - the good old days of crazy snow donuts are gone.

Also my first ever winter I kind of crashed. Me and a buddy were driving on the highway, was doing about 120km/h, not very fast but probably faster than i should have been on my almost bald all season tires in an Accord. Came to an off ramp and braked to about 80km/h and completely lost traction. I was heading face first into a wall of snow and ice if i didn't do something quick. Pulled the e-brake and gave the car gas, trying to recover. Ended up hitting the bank all the same, but just cracked the rear bumper rather than totaling the car if i had hit it straight on.

Pretty sure i scared my buddy for life, and i still drive the same to this day. Haven't learned my lesson i guess. He'll get in a car with me, but i can tell every time i hit the gas hard he's a bit scared.

Scraped the front quarter and snapped a tie rod. Turns out I hit with my wheel more than anything. Drove the car for almost exactly three more years after that. Didn't realize till years later it read a bridge freezes before roadway situation.

>>16185412
That whole bridge ice thing happened in Houston a few years back when we got a lot of freezing rain, caused some accidents. It rarely gets like that here.

My state had declared a level 2 snow emergency (a level 3 is the equivalent of the hurricane in FL where they close roads to all non emergency personnel). I tailed an ambulance about 10 miles up i75 through 3~ inches of blowing snow. I saw countless cars in ditches, and eventually I lost ambulance bro because he had to go pull some dumbass in a pickup out of the median. It was a truly beautiful night, all hell had frozen over and everyone was losing their minds. I did have to stop briefly to remove ice from my wipers, but asides from that, it was almost surreal. Enough snow that it was absolutely silent asides from all the sirens. I wish I had pics, but some nog stole my phone and I hadn't backed up that month.

Only got minimal damage at least.

1. abs lets you steer
2. You probably stop a tiny bit faster since friction is greater for static bodies
3. But mostly it's only #1 that makes a difference, and it's huge

One thing is for sure though, it all depends on how you drive and the aggressiveness of the abs. If it's super aggressive at the first hint of a lockup, it's going to be a pain.

Sometimes I hate living in a very rural town. At the same time I never see blacks so that's always nice.
