Big bear, CA got some snow this week so we drove up for the day to get some sledding in. I'm originally from the Northeast and spent most of my life driving in snowy winters, and the amount of stupidity that goes on here is astounding. Tire chains on clear dry roads. Tire chains on cars that I know for a fact have 4wd (on clear dry roads). Cars stuck in the middle of the street in an inch of slush. People pulling over on the shoulder to get out and stand in the snow. And this person who drove off the road on a long straight section.  If you're from LA, stay in LA. My truck was in RWD the whole time, come at me.

FogHelmut posted:Tire chains on clear dry roads. I am guessing this wasn't the case in this particular instance, but up in the Tahoe area on a number of occasions I've driven through areas with chain control in place, while snowing, but no snow actually accumulated on the road. And yeah, I see a bunch of AWD cars with chains on; I imagine just people with no experience wanting to be cautious. The best, though, is 2WD cars with chains only on the non drive wheels.

Yeah though, just hope your poo poo breaks on the hump or at the exteme ends of the bridge. I got a flat tire at the top of the Skyway about ten years ago. At night. Picked up one of the emergency phones they have up there, and a state trooper was there within five minutes with an aluminum floor jack and I was gone in about ten minutes. My wife was freaking out because I made her get out of the car because i was worried about an idiot rear ending it. The barrier is about waist high and it was super spooky looking down over it into the black abyss. Would not recommend getting a flat tire on the Skyway. For those that don't know what the Skyway is:

And for those who don't know why it looks like that: a ship crashed into the former Skyway in 1980, killing 35 people. Even knowing it was designed to avoid that happening again, the whole thing skeeves me out. Oh, and it gets shut down because of high winds on the regular. I've been the last truck across before a restriction on heavy vehicles was activated. 20mph in a little Isuzu NPR box truck was truly terrifying. madeintaipei fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Dec 30, 2019 |

Parking lot adventures at the big box home improvement store. Two guys trying to fit several sheets of 4'x8' what looked like 1/4" thick plywood into the back of a mid 90's subcompact with fold down seats. They are sawing it down to try to ram it in the back of the trunk. Had the pleasure of being parked next to them and needed to ask them to move their mini-sawmill which consisted of a push cart and their knees as support as they ripped it down with a circular saw which of course was inches away from the femoral artery. They obliged so I could back out and apologized for their transgression. But my god, it gave me and my wife an ephiany...

Oops and here I thought we were talking about the Chicago Skyway. Which is also a bridge (and an elevated highway) and a bad place to break down, just not quite as impressive a bridge.

I remember when it happened, and then driving over the good span passing by the span that broke apart....THAT was loving spooky as a kid to see that knowing about all the people that died. I was a huge deal at the time. Driving over the Skyway is the only thing with enough elevation in Florida to make my ears pop.

I figured you guys were definitely not referring to the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey but that is also a place you wouldn't want to break down on, either. Even after the renovations that closed the Skyway to two-way traffic for four years, it only has two lanes in each direction, no breakdown lane, is 3.5 miles long, and is only one of two highways (and the only toll-free one) connecting the Holland Tunnel to the rest of New Jersey. At least trucks aren't allowed on the Skyway.

Well mine is an antique not designed to accommodate modern day traffic, had over $1 billion poured into it so it won't collapse over the next 90 years, and still can't adequately accommodate modern day traffic despite being one of two main thoroughfares into and out of lower Manhattan.

The fastest I've ever been (and most scared) is when when of my moron friends floored it going down the FL Skyway late one night. We were doing at least 130 (the speedometer stoped at 130) and I was screaming in a most unmanly fashion to slow down oh gently caress I'm gonna die. Haven't driven with him much since then.

The guys set out on a trip to Italy from Berlin in a 6-cyl Taunus, trading it for an Oldmobile Regency 98 (big car, big motor) on the way. "My God, it rides wonderfully at 120." "Those are miles, idiot!" "Oh."

I came to a red light this afternoon, there was a boomer in a new-ish Audi A6 in the unprotected left turn lane across from me. Light turned green, she gunned across the intersection in front of me and the car beside me. And drove into a UPS truck that was delivering on the street she turned onto. I stuck around to give the police a statement because gently caress you lady. You got exactly what you deserved.

I understand your instinct to protect your loved ones and to distrust your fellow motorists' attentiveness, but unless you can get behind a barrier or far from the roadway, the safest place to be is in the car buckled up.
