Just spent the last 2 hours blasting around Richmond in my car and the wife’s car.

Lots of stalled cars, abandoned cars, people driving 10kmh. What a buzzkill. But I still had my dose of carcain

Bad on Hwy 1 and Coquahalla

Fucking Richmond drivers.

No third party witnesses willing to corroborate your story = single car accident = enjoy your rate hike

Drove home around 11pm tonight. So many cars stuck and stranded over a small hill...

People, Get winter tires.. omg.

FailFishFailFishFailFish

And if you do have winter tires but drive at 15km/h, you suck at driving. Don't even come out.

When you're the only one able to accelerate without sliding back on a hill

My elderly female neighbour decided she would do something nice by clearing my car off....the one I wasn't driving...using a plastic shovel. I have no idea how bad the scratches are. Fuck. Before I got there the majority of it was already cleared off.

I realize now that I was a total douche when I was younger haha

There's a mall across the street from me with a wide open parking lot with no medians at all in it and it's a playground for trucks and cars to do donuts in the snow with loud ass exhausts. Had to listen to the sound of it for over 4 hours last night while trying to sleep.


10 years ago I used to be one of those people doing donuts with no consideration of the noise I'm making for people trying to sleep. Ooooooh how I've kinda grown up..

6" in coquitlam

came down hard last night

quasi 01-13-2020 07:05 AM

Icy out there, my 10-12 minute commute took 55 minutes due to traffic.

I've a 40 min commute with no traffic :(
Left extra early and still barely made it to work on time

SumAznGuy 01-13-2020 07:09 AM

Heads up, it's -6C in Coquitlam and will be -13C with windchill. any water or wet snow will freeze into ice if it hasn't done so already. Going to a skating rink tonight when we get off work.

mb_ 01-13-2020 07:51 AM

Surrey to Tri-Cities was a shit show. The roads were just straight up like driving on ice rinks. 20-25 minute commute turned into 1.5hrs lol

Badhobz 01-13-2020 08:04 AM

So I tried to make an excuse of not going in, but with a lousy ass half a friggin inch, I gave up and went in. Only took about an extra 10-15 minutes commuting to the core. Arthur Lang wasn’t so bad

HonestTea 01-13-2020 08:08 AM

Starting to snow again in Coquitlam

Similar scenario for me a couple years ago, rain though, not snow. The person pulled over and apologized, gave me their insurance papers and license. ICBC still ruled me to be at fault.

nismodrifter 01-13-2020 08:23 AM

sitting in my office watching cars slide down a pure ice hill and either spin 180, or nearly slam into our building.

Surrey, Fleetwood area.

fliptuner 01-13-2020 08:39 AM

So cold, I had to wear a hoody and pants.

so you didn't leave enough stopping distance as the following vehicle, while knowing the driving conditions, and lost control while doing so and now blaming the car in front of you?

What am I missing here...

From my understanding I thought the person was an oncoming left turner. But could be wrong!

quasi 01-13-2020 09:17 AM

Ice is way worse than snow, at least with snow you get some traction.

Nothing, besides the fundamental reasons we have insurance adjusters.


:P

The guy turns in front of him without warning. How can you leave enough distance when these clowns decide to do that in front of you ?! FailFish
