Killer ice? What the heck is killer ice? More dangerous than normal ice?

@justinkatz441

FWD = "normal" on ice snow

RWD = "bad" no "handling"

AWD = good but if you have Automatic, good luck for control when you lost control

brainless : press gaz,press brake, car lost control again, hmm automatic it's cool but you can't control your car and dumbass can't drive manual

@justinkatz441 huh, I don't speed, and I don't get Ice in Western Australia. But yes as I said (well kind of) Cars with chains on the wheels (I guess I could have been a bit more broad spectum there but as I said "Australia", best I get is really cold rain).

@J3TPILOT1991 4x4's offer a false sense of security. One can easily drive on slippery roads with a 2wd car. All you need are good winter tires and some basic driving knowledge + caution. SLOW DOWN.

@J3TPILOT1991 the best thing would be not to drive, I'm Canadian from Montreal area and if you don't know about ice & snow, just don't go for a ride, 4X4 helps yes, but you have to know how to react on snow and you have to know how to react on ice. I give you the +1 I like what you said.

[thegrossesalope]

don't come in Canada in winter period, I live in Montreal area and I can tell you when it's icy you slow down. Be careful.

[J3TPILOT1991]

thank god some people have the sense not to drive, the only vehicles on the road should be 4x4's and cars with chains on the wheels (I have no clue about driving on ice but thats just my opinion)

yeah i remember that. i left Tennessee heading to Canada like a day before it hit. i heard some bad stuff about it. the southern states are not equipped to handle shit like that.

The "Frost Backs" are.... :)
