-- Road Caution! (You Can't Fuck Around Anymore)

Road Caution! (You Can't Fuck Around Anymore)

This morning was the very first time I had to remove the ICE of my wind shield and windows this year.

Driving along 401 East, 4 cars a head of me was white van. The dude was driving really fast and did a very unsafe lane change. A few secs later he slips and smashes into another car and flip upside down, sliding for awhile and final stop on his side. I had a few seconds to avoid him and safely I did it. We all stopped and called 911. I left the scene after they I gave my statement.

Since there's ice on the roads and shit, pls becareful everyone and drive safely. Ya can't drive like it's Intial D or Need 4 Speed anymore ...

unfortunatly people's driving practice's are getting worse. with cars being safer and faster than ever before, people some how think they are capable of handling that increased perfomance. WRONG.

the drivers aren't getting better, but the cars are, and that gives people a false sense of security, and they start driving EVEN WORSE!

i wish people would think straight sometimes. no wonder driving is more dangerous than flying.

That's phucked up! I hate seeing car accidents, especially since it is all avoidable with just a little caution.

Good post. People out there, it's not summer anymore! B careful out there.

You should be careful all the time regardless of the season/weather.

Yeah mon, I'm IRIE!

Thanks for asking ....

My dad saw 4 accidents on the way to work. He called me at 7AM and told me to stay in this morning because knowing how i drive, i'd be the 5th. Thanks for the heads-up, it's time to adjust my driving habits for the next 5 months and play it safe.

I saw a guy get the shit kicked out of him by 2 undercover cops yesterday at Castle Frank station. Funny thing is, at first, the guy was taking the two cops by himself.

Nothing like a good fight to start your day!

I believe it.

The worst feeling is when you're driving down the 400 and you're watching several cars\trucks go into the ditch!

Oh man..I'm gonna hate driving in snow.......this is my first time driving in these conditions and will have to be extra cautious and leave the shack early

this is my first year with a light car since my old car was a boat and a half.

hopefully i can adjust but it is very different already.

My stupid front-wheel-drive Toyota handles like shit in this weather. And I mean literally like shit. I could attach a steering wheel to a giant turd and it would probably perform better than my car.

But that's STILL not a fucking excuse to drive 70 in the left lane on the 401 when there's nothing but empty fucking space in front of you! Oh and don't even THINK about signalling your turns or lane changes, that might eat up precious milliseconds of concentration that might otherwise be spent on the HUNDREDS OF METRES OF EMPTY ROAD!

...get some WINTER tires, dude. You think your car handles badly, you try driving a car with all-seasons AND a full airbag suspension system. DANNNNNNNGEROUS. I was stupid to do that.

All seasons are complete shit, and I hope they get outlawed in the future as was rumoured recently.

I love my Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 Winterbiters. Absolutely amazing winter tires they are, and not too expensive (about $100 each, depending where ya go). I had my heart set on Nokian Hakkapelliita RSi tires, but nobody in the area sells them No matter, WS50s are second best.

Quattro + Blizzaks LM 25 = I love winter!! Bring it on!!

I drove the first year with my all-seasons and it had barely any grip. After that first season I purchased Pirelli Winter 210 Snowsports and they are great! One can drive with confidence. I highly recommend getting snow tires.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* \ DRIVE SAFELY / *~*~*~*~*~*

Holy crap. I saw something really scary too on the way home. I'm in the car with my dad on the way home from Toronto when I see an ambulance way up ahead coming towards us with lights and sirens blazing. We all are stopped at an intersection with the light green in the perpendicular direction. Of course the ambulance goes onto the opposite side of the road to get through the intersection, where some tool who wasn't paying attention to the loud sirens or flashing lights makes a huge left turn and slams on the breaks before the ambulance and his car get in a head-on collison. Lucky there wasn't ice on the road of we'd have been calling a few more ambulances.

Drive safe guys/gals.

woah

Well imagine taking a turn, as you normally would, or even more carefully than you would in ice/snow. Now imagine LOSING CONTROL at that turn out of nowhere, and your either get heavy understeer or oversteer (fishtailing). The reaction is so sudden that you panic and begin to brake or let your foot off the gas & countersteer. Ooops - the pendulum force is now getting your car to fishtail the other way. Or the braking makes the slide even worse!

When i was first learning to drive, my father got me to drive to downtown toronto in a blizzard in 2001 I think with all-season tires, in our '86 RWD Volvo. Basically he told me to take it extremely easy. You gotta know the limits of the car & keep waaay below them to create a "safety" buffer. That was a bit of a risky lesson. No sudden movements either. Even with all of that, a patch of black ice can still screw you over im sure.. and sliding at highway speeds would definitely be very dangerous.

I'm not gonna like driving to school (Oakville, Sheridan) in January/February
