There was an accident on Highway 99 through Richmond at about 3pm (the flat, straight section). An Altima spun completely around while going south. Backed up all the lanes going south.

guy in front of me slid all the way through an intersection on a red, then when i caught up to him a little he decides to throw hazards on and abandon the suv(yes an suv). almost got hit by someone who thought they could turn left whenever the fuck they want to too. im not sure if the snow is fucking with people or richmonds gotten even worse. all this in like 5 minutes down number 4 road.

PiuYi 02-26-2011 04:33 PM

RevRav 02-26-2011 04:37 PM

It's only a matter of time...before someone start spotting LarryChu abandoning his S2000 in this weather again...

dachinesedude 02-26-2011 04:38 PM

richmond getting worst and worst, very slippery due to the freezing rain early today, now its dumping snow

richmond + snow + ice not a good combination

mrclean604 02-26-2011 04:39 PM

on the way home i saw a guy almost spin out while trying to turn left on granville and no.4, almost hitting the cars on the opposite lane.. /facepalm

kyoshiro 02-26-2011 04:41 PM

conditions weren't even that bad when i was in richmond (12-3) barely any snow on the road but there was a stretch on stevestons that was a layer of ice.

and i got rear ended on number 3 near jones. just looking in my rear view, thinking wow this guy isn't stopping... then boom.

Again, please avoid Richmond at all cost. Everyone is going all out full retard around here, its like the end of the world or something.

Matsuda 02-26-2011 05:36 PM

I saw a Rolls Royce driving down 4 road and he didn't look like he was having problems

BrRsn 02-26-2011 05:37 PM

I saw a JDM RHD supra with a WRX as a chase car and a older 91 accord in green infront of it .. escorting it down cambie street with blinkers on and everything, wtf?

CP.AR 02-26-2011 05:40 PM

took me 30 minutes to get up my driveway... wtf

Richmond is where the fun is. C-Lais with 4matic equipped C-Classes going "I AM SUPAWOMAAANNN WAHHHH GO FASTA LA YOU TWO WHEEL DRIVER CAR"

Drove from East Van (41st knight area) all the way back to Richmond. no accidents to report other than the idiots in Pickup trucks (why is it always pickup trucks) thinking they are invincible and tailgating everyone

kyoshiro 02-26-2011 05:46 PM

k so after driving down no.4 road which is ultimately in the worst ever condition, and cambie which was better, I can say that the roads are iced up beneath the snow as I lost traction and traction control kicked in turning onto no.4 even when I was slow as fuck (tho my glk is heavy as fuck too). but yeah even winter rated tires will not do well in these roads, need studded tires. Not to mention there are still WRXes going weeee and X3s going wooo and tailgating sighs. I did not see the c-lai c classes tho thankfully.

i was following a tacoma pickup today heading home. he would go slow off the light and leave lots of room in front of him, then he would fish tail on purpose, no one dared pass him either.
