the rare event you get away from the responsibility of rear-ending someone else is if they cut into your lane with minimal safety buffer

[Traum]

Fuck Richmond. Fuck Richmond and snow.

I'm on full snowflake/mountain snow tires, guy late turns in front of me, I panic brake and spin into a curb. Anyone know how ICBC claim works without dashcam/plate. Other car (took off) was an 07-ish beige sienna.

Fucking Richmond drivers.
Please tell me you have dash cam footage of it?

At least with that, you have a fighting chance of making your case with ICBC. But if you can't identify the licence plate on the other car, I think you'd still be screwed since ICBC always needs to assign fault to somebody, and without another licence plate, you'd be that only "somebody". :(

[SSM_DC5]

Seems like Specter + everyone who thanked him think Bic was following the car that turned.

Hobz thinks Bic was travelling in the opposite direction of the car that turned.



Bic....which is it?

[Bouncing Bettys]

If your options are to hit the offending vehicle, or avoid the collision and hit a ditch/pole/curb - you aim right for that fucker. ICBC doesn't pay out for doing the right thing.

Starting to snow again in Coquitlam

Dropped my car off at body shop in pomo this morning, Blue Mountain was super super super messed up. Panel vans sliding down backwards, cars ditched left, right and center. On the way back to Richmond, on Blue Mtn, FedEx truck, bus, and several other cars were stuck.

I have winters and I still couldn't get started on Blue Mtn, slid back a bit, gave up and took Nelson LOL.

Marine x SB Boundary, bus/semi/sedan crashed. Knight to 99S, two vehicles crashed there as well.

It's bad out there. Drive safe everyone!

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.

Wow wtf? That's pretty messed up.

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!

Yep this. Looks like my original post was poorly written.

Please tell me you have dash cam footage of it?

Nope. Been meaning to hardwire, never got around to it.

Had a tonne of fun ripping around town yesterday. Just crawling past those stuck on BBY mountain without snows. The look of defeat on their faces. I'm sorry, don't expect me to push you when you're not even prepared for the conditions in your own neighborhood, which happens yearly on top of the many warnings.

Buddy has a video of a Jeep Wrangler towing a full on 18wheeler across the Port Mann this morning.. LOL

[CCA-Dave]

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

Because, by the letter of the law, you are supposed to leave enough of a gap to be able to anticipate this stuff. Now, whether or not that is realistic in a daily fashion is certainly debatable. But by the letter of the law, that's the deal.

Which means, when it happens to us we get to bitch about the guy in front causing the problem. When it happens to someone else on the internet we get to ride the high horse that they should be prepared! ha

[hud 91gt]

Doesn’t matter still his fault �� lol jk.

Last night the traffic was going a solid 20km/h when the 5 or 6 cars in front of me all went into the left turning lane at the traffic light ahead. One car decided to switch back to my lane and cut me right off. It required some evasive maneuvering, without anything I could have done to prevent it. People just turn to idiots in this weather. There is no explanation lol. They then continued to drive about 15km/h for the next 3 km.

On another note. I headed up into the hills to try and find some deep windrows to try and get stuck in. It didn’t work. I wanted to use the locking feature. Lol.

[coneZONE]

Going up the cut west bound last night wasn’t bad, but there were tons of cars stuck and sideways in the right lane and shoulder and the Mtn Hwy on-ramp. Still had two clear lanes. There was an Audi facing the wrong way on the Mtn Hwy N/B exit.

East bound was fucked because of the accident on the Second Narrows Crossing tho

[AzNightmare]

Oh boy, it was all fun and games today on the highway until someone in front suddenly spun out and plowed into the median barrier.

Then as I came to a full stop and looked in my rear view mirror, I see a SUV pretty far away, but coming in way too fast fishtailing, bounce off the barrier and then into me...

have u never rolled your car around with just the engine idling while in gear? ur engine still makes torque at idle rpm.

I got a Mini Cooper S with snow tires as my demo this week and I am pleasantly surprised at how good it is in the snow. Didn't get stuck once on my way to work. I just need to keep clear of the really really deep snow so that it doesn't become a snow plow with its relatively low clearance.

Interesting, all things being equal ie. FWD vs. FWD and say both cars have snows on, what makes a particular car 'better' in snow? I heard people describe it as such but what other factors go into a FWD car that makes it particularly good on snow? Weight distribution?

More weight over the drive wheels, the way the engine delivers power (turbo cars are actually not great at this as there's a jolt of power down low - smoother the better), the wheelbase length (longer = smoother and stabler) and the way the traction control/ESP is set up.

[AstulzerRZD]

Dad's got brand new studded Cooper Discoverer M+S on his F150 - still get a bit of wheelspin when starting at stoplights in 2HI.

[quasi]

This is an obvious tip for most but if you have a truck fill the box up with snow, that added weight over the rear wheels is helpful.

[teggy604]

Meh. You can't depend on transit or the city when it snows. So people with all season tires that think the city will have the roads nice and salted so they can go on their marry way will get a wake up call. If you are prepared it won't be an issue. If this is the city response to snow, can't imagine a natural disaster like a mega earthquake.

Yea, I tried it in Sport mode and the throttle response is very good for dry conditions but not so good for snow conditions, ie, it's too sensitive and the dual clutch transmission engages too quickly. Normal drive mode and Eco mode are much better with this car in snow like this. Also I was driving with traction control off but dynamic stability control on. It does spin its wheels a bit when setting off from a stop but it still gets going even on slight inclines.

May not seem like it but the cities are plowing and salting 24/7.

Think of how many streets are in Vancouver or any city for that matter and compare it to how many trucks/employees there are. If it doesn't directly benefit someone it may seem like they're doing nothing and they call them every name in the book, but they are working 24/7.

Believe it or not, the city workers deserve a bit of credit.


I'll add another comment on this - IF anyone may be wondering why a side street that's been plowed in the past hasn't been plowed this time around, look where cars are parked. If the plow can't make it down the street without doing damage to cars because they've parked to far away from the curb due to shoveling their sidewalks and dumping the snow on the road, they will not go down the street. It's not worth damaging 20 cars to satisfy 1 person.

Aside from that, this whole snow, cold weather, causing sheets of ice + trying to find the right mix between chemicals, salts, etc... is causing some issues.

Why does it seem like people who have snow tires love to rip on people who don't have them, yet also think it's perfectly fine to drive on or above the speed limit when the road conditions are horrible? Yes we get it your WRX is a rally car we should all just move over for you and suck your dick as you drive by.

Because unless it's literally their first time living here in Vancouver during winter, people by now should be prepared and have tires that are suitable for the weather conditions. (Same goes for having salt, a shovel, all of that basic necessities for snow)

People with tires that can handle the snow no problem are tired of being stuck behind people who are barely getting by because they decided winter tires aren't worth the bother just because they only need it a few weeks a year.. They'll just tough it out and drive overly cautious being part of the problem. Yeah, they've been saying that for the past 5 years in a row.

It's no different than when the weather is great, and you have some guy in front who's not very capable at driving, so to compensate, they drive overly cautious and go 40km/h cause they are scared to lose control. It's annoying and backing up traffic if everyone else is capable of safely going 50-60.

It almost seems like some people have never driven on good snow tires before and have no idea the kind of control they're missing out on when snow is out.

The main part of his complaint is how people with snow tires still drive on/above the limit when road conditions are horrible. Sure, you won’t get stuck in the snow, but good luck stopping!

Exactly.

Tires are what keep you and your car safely on the road and out of the ditch. If you can't wrap that around your head because you're too cheap to spend the $1000 then you shouldn't own a car or be on the road.

[!LittleDragon]

With or without proper tires, people still don't know how to drive here. I haven't had winter tires in almost 5 years and no problems. All season or all weather tires are good enough. As long as you're not driving on summers or bald tires, you're fine. I don't care what tires I'm driving on, even when I had winter tires, I wouldn't drive above 30.

Back in the day, I used to drive in these conditions in an MR2 turbo with ES100's. Still didn't get stuck... lol... at least not due to traction, did get stuck because the car's too low.

[AzNightmare]

Well winter tires actually do help with stopping. Which is exactly why AWD without winter tires is a false sense of security, because people can get going better, but their stopping ability is about the same as a FWD or RWD with equal tires.


well y'all can go cautious up a hill but I'll be part of the roadblock if I dont keep up momentum

Is this an issue with winter tires too or is it an all-seasons thing? Genuinely asking cause I have winter tires and never needed to keep momentum on a FWD.
I guess it would depend how steep of a hill we're talking?

if it's a full on skating rink like the montreal bus video/north burnaby stuff once you start gliding back on the hill for the average motorist it's basically hopeless unless on studs/chains?

Roads are a lot better this morning. Just really slushy

[stewie]

Snow has to eventually go somewhere. Try to keep a small rut on the road beside the sidewalk clear to allow any melting snow to run in to a catch basin to prevent flooding and making an ice rink on the road.

Last night's melt and re-freeze made for an extremely sketchy walk to work today.

Question for Tesla 3 owners, how does it do in snow conditions? Anyone get dedicated snows for your car? Notice a significant loss in range in the cold?

[fliptuner]

Your major reason for range loss will be from running the heater.

[whitev70r]

^ not the cold temp? I read that cold temp reduces range because it affects battery capacity?

[UnknownJinX]

Likely a combination of both.

[!Aznboi128]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH7V2tU3iFc

This may give you a bit more insight, temps are around 10 degrees. While not as cold as here, it's still cooler than what the batteries like.

[SilverT]

Question for Tesla 3 owners, how does it do in snow conditions? Anyone get dedicated snows for your car? Notice a significant loss in range in the cold?

I drove mines on all the snow days we had so far. It was fine and I have on new continental Vikings that I just bought. I can't really comment on the range loss though as I drive it within 15 km and charge it nightly so I don't notice a huge loss.

[MG1]

If anyone is looking for Ice Melt. Costco has Alaskan ones for $19.99. 50 lb bags. Brighton and Willingdon each got one pallet this morning. That's like 50 bags. At 9:30 am, there was maybe 40 bags left (they opened at 9:00 am). I got enough for next year, lol. They're out of stock everywhere else and pricier. Every time I buy them, weather gets better, so let's hope that's the case again this year. The stuff keeps well, as long as you keep them out of the sun (UV rays). I keep mine in the dark corner of the garage. If you open a bag, store leftovers in a black or dark 5 gallon plastic pail with a good lid. I found one that was 6 years old, maybe older, and it's as good as new.

[SumAznGuy]

^ not the cold temp? I read that cold temp reduces range because it affects battery capacity?

Battery doesn't like cold temps. Range definitely went down with the cold battery.
Also charging time seems to have slowed down with the colder temps. Was parked at a DCFC for 40 mins and only got 40% charge on my 18 leaf.
In the summer, that 40 mins would have had me up to 80% plus.

Didn't see a huge difference in range with teh snow tires. I have the conti Vikings too. But then again I went down to a 15 so less rotational mass but less areodynamic as the wheels are open spoked.

And all this was with the heater off. With the heater on, range went down event more.

That's a good price. I saw 10 5kg bottles of Alaskan at London drugs last night. Surprised they had any left.

I've used Alaskan for years, but this year I picked up a 40 lb bag of the Scott's EZmelt to see if it works better. Cost was the same as 40 lb bags of Alaskan, both at Home Depot. The Scott's stuff has the NACl/CaCl/MG etc all mixed into one chunk, and the particles seem to be denser and more solid than the Alaskan formula which seems to be more flakier.

I had a new bottle of the Alaskan melt to compare to, and the Scotts does seem to melt the snow/ice faster like it claims, and the denser chunks seem to last longer than Alaskan, so I've used less melt. Not sure if there's less concrete spalling/damage yet, we'll see after the snow's over.

It's a good deal at Costco, as having any melt is better than none, but I'm thinking of switching to the Scott's stuff going forward.

I don't think blocked rear view is a thing. MVA says if your rear view is obstructed, the vehicle must have mirrors on the outside. I've driven vehicles that don't even have a rear view because there weren't any windows in the back.

Anyways, apologies for the tourist brochure, back to your regularly scheduled program of Merc/BMW clais on summer tires.

[twitchyzero]

5-20cm in-bound for tomorrow

[Badhobz]

I don’t believe it.

[Euro7r]

Vancouver South, just a small layer of snow. Nothing significant so far.

[twitchyzero]

kingsway knight looks pretty good

[twitchyzero]

SFU closed

[roastpuff]

Stuff is sticking around Metrotown but just a thin layer so far.

[whitev70r]

I don’t believe it.

How about now? :spamarama:

[Badhobz]

Not much downtown. Not sticking.

[Mr.HappySilp]

Coming hard in Vancouver around Science world

[nabs]

Coming down hard at the airport.

[320icar]

Yeah coming down hard at yvr but super wet

[bigzz786786]

Looks like all sfu campuses are closed. UBC, BCIT and Kwantlen remain open

[vexor]

steady snowfall across Coquitlam since this morning. Still not sticking to roads around Coq center but it is higher up around the Como Lake area.

[nabs]

BCIT just announced closure

[whitev70r]

Good day for Vessi's.

[SFU_wmc]

Been coming down pretty steady all day in Richmond, but hardly sticking at all.

[whitev70r]

Watch out for slush bombs on the Port Mann!

[Badhobz]

It’s bullshit !!!!!! Stick damnit. Stick !!!!

[AzNightmare]

Been snowing all day.. Surprised none of it is sticking.

[fliptuner]

Barely hit 0°C today. Should all be melted by noon tomorrow.

FFS bitch was not prepared to drive in the snow, only rolling around with idle power, possibly too scared to give any throttle. looked in the rear view mirror after passing her and yep still rolling at a snails pace. waited a full light cycle at the intersection and she still hasnt arrive at the intersection yet, which is only 100m from the parking lot exit.

[hi-revs]

^^ I would not have been that patient. So many idiot drivers.

LOL, was she a woman?

[Badhobz]

Im surprised you didn’t honk the shit outta her.

[danned]

you should cut right in front of the car

[Jmac]

... the road has no snow on it ... :fulloffuck:

[TOPEC]

5 years ago i would've honk the shit outta her the moment she exits the parking lot, may even have my head out the window screaming at her. now a days i just clip the video and post it online so everyone can laugh, its not worth the stress, i have tonned down my road rage by a lot.

just off to the left of the camera's view, because she took 2 lanes to turn and at such a slow pace, cars were stopping and lining up waiting for her, which eventually everyone drove around, she was literally an obstacle on the road.

[StylinRed]

Snow forecast for today/tonight at higher elevations like SFU North Van Coquitlam

Snowfall warnings issued

https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?bc42

[Liquid_o2]

I wonder if it will snow in Richmond/Vancouver - I was looking at historical data and it has never had any accumulation of snow this early in November.

I don't even put my snow tires on until mid-November every year!

[SumAznGuy]

Snowing at Metro and higher elevations of Coquitlam.
Not sticking at the moment.

[CRS]

I generally just look at the weather forecast.

Once I see a week with an average of 7 degrees or less, it's the weekend before that I put on my tires.

I put on my tires just yesterday because of this week's forecast.

[nismodrifter]

meh.

I'm a Calgarian now living in Lower mainland. Not a fan of the "OMG WTF BBQ" reaction that each snow brings here. Makes me fukin irate. First time I am thankful for working from home.

[Hehe]

True. After spending a few years on the East Coast, the worst day in YVR is like.... a day in YYZ.

I think the main difference is how unprepared us Westcoasters are with snowing.

Learning how to drive properly in the snow is a skill many Westcoasters lack.

[6793026]

we might get 10 snowflakes in richmond.. meh... i'll start taking it seriously when it comes to Jan / early Feb.

good to see the mountains getting a dump; grouse grind has snow today.

Like someone said before, so thankful everyoen is working from home + no social gathering.

[EvoFire]

What Hehe said. It's not really how bad it gets, but rather how unprepared and how stupid the typical Vancouverite is when it comes to snow.

[320icar]

You call us unprepared, but then laugh when we put our snow tires on early. So what would you like us to do here.

[punkwax]

Ya it doesn’t snow much here so we don’t get the practice people from Alberta do.. PogChamp

Plus its mountainous here compared to Alberta.

I was born in Alberta and wouldn’t make such a dumb comparison between driver skill. Aside from the snow itself we’re comparing apples and oranges here FailFish

You can always go back to Calgary............ don't you miss it? I would.

I'm with CRS. 7 degrees or lower is when I look into changing over to winters.

After living in Edmonton for a few years... they do not know how to drive in the snow despite it snowing heavily every year. When the first snowfall hits, there are always 500+ accidents on day 1. You would think they would learn year after year but nope.

[EvoFire]

I didn't laugh. I put my winters on already as well, and I don't even need to commute nowadays.

This actually surprises me. I learned how to drive safely with snow and also what's the do's/don'ts in snowy condition from my landlord in ON when I first got there. Everything from how braking, accelerating and maneuvering differ normally vs. in snow... 15min with snow in an empty parking lot packed with powder was all it took.

So I assume anyone in snowy areas just know them because everyone knew them.

[underscore]

Oh yeah Albertans are great winter drivers. Every time I drive Hwy 16 in the winter the ditches are littered with cars.

summer tire meet is fun

[AzNightmare]

Snow driving shouldn't be harder per se, just different set of physics people need to understand. Can't be driving the same way like it's dry or wet. But having proper winter tires are a huge factor.

I was planning to put my winter tires on the weekend, but I forgot I have a day off today... so maybe I'll do it today.

Stop, you are using common sense. Don't you know common sense isn't that common?

[Manic!]

Woke up to this in Nanaimo. It's snowing hard right now.
