What is wrong with this driver, I live in chicago, I have drove in sleet,ice,snow,you name it. Never have i had an accident, you just have to be careful and a good driver. My suv has slid on ice but quickly gain control.

The driver was at least 85 years old. That was the problem.

I like you morons that are saying bad drivers. Do you not see the car sliding sideways down the street? That has nothing to do with the driver, obviously the incline and ice is too much........

@IsabelleHayley it's because in the NW winter weather is usually a bad mix of ice and snow, temps hovering around 32, melting/refreezing. its much harder than pure snow driving.

@liquidusman Portland and Seattle have hills and a lot of them. In Chicago there are some hills but Seattle and Portland have a lot more then Chicago

@markallen511 I'd love it if you were capable of thinking of a better word to use than "faggot." I mean, shit, what are you, twelve? It's lazy. It's offensive, but more than that, it's a shortcut to thinking.

@canuckaholic91 That's a better way of saying it. Exactly.

@liquidusman They have lots of hills, and rarely have snow chains, rarely does anybody take care of the roads when there is snow, and the ice is a little different because there's more rain than snow (the snow is actually more wet, then freezes). It's just a different climate. Plus Portlanders are not prepared, overreact, drive too slow and careful (that can cause problems at times), and occasionally hesitate in the snow.
