There's this silver BMW parked between Knight St. and 37th. Parked on the middle of the lane. Traffic was only one lane going up Knight St. Is this person a retard or something, seriously, you can reverse down a hill, how the hell can you be stuck and not be able to move. If you can't move up, then move down. It decides to park there. Wanted to pull over and shovel snow and bury his fucking car.

sadly, AWD/4WD with all seasons can still get stuck, especially going uphill.

If people can't drive in the snow, then don't come out at all.
ICBC teaches people to drive slower, not to drive better. I think that's the flaw with the system. But then again, many people do their test when there isn't snow anyway, so that won't make a difference.
But it pisses me off seeing these people blocking the traffic by going 20-30 km/h. Like wtf? It's just snow. Not even... It's slush. It's the remains of what a snow plow truck left behind. If people are so scared, stay home.

Roads are clear of cars now, but you can clearly see the snow is still coming down.

Now I don't know exactly what you mean by haulling ass, but when I'm going 50-60 in main roads, and everyone else is going a ridiculous 30, I consider that pretty ass hauling from my point of view.
And Kingsway is a big street, it's one of those streets that are never a problem when it snows, either it gets plowed very quickly or lots of cars have travelled there enough for the snow to be melted. I don't understand people that drive so slow in the big streets. Like I said, if they are scared or incappable, then stay home.
