Snowstorm? Plz. most of those roads are just barely wet.This was in ~4-5inch of snow and i doesn’t even have an LSD, wich would help a lot…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeDereFD-aU
Strange presumptions in the US, here in Finland it is completely normal to drive a RWD car in the winter with snow tyres of course. And we probably get more snow in here anyway, lol :D
Same in Sweden! So many old RWD Volvos and BMWs. I don’t know why it was such a big deal to them?
This is because our driver education is terrible. We don’t actively teach people how to drive in poor conditions. I don’t know a single person what has snow chains. And many people are too cheap, poor or lazy to buy winter specific tires. On top of that the snow removal strategy is flawed. Many states plow to the road and salt which turns an otherwise sticky snow surface into a slushy slippery mess. I am no saint either, even with a decent sent of all seasons on my MX-5 its still tail happy in very cold weather and it gets increasingly worse with wet roads or snow. This is the first time I drove it over winter, last year it sat in the garage. I have a 4x4 truck to get me places when it snows bad,
RWD car in the snow. When will people understand that there is no problem to drive it normally. Last year I drove my rwd bmw with some old 10+ years old tires and it really was horrible. This year I bought brand new tires and the car sits on snowy/icy road like a normal fwd car. For me it is even better, because fwd cars tend to understeer in dry weather and in snowy and with the rear wheel drive, when you see that you begin to understeer, you just touch the cluch and the car goes sideways and the corner is saved.
I drove rwd without snow tires in the winter in North Dakota and had no problem until I needed to climb a hill. If I had lived in the mountains it would be different though. The hills are the only place you are really affected by a rwd car because those tires are pushing all of the weight up hill with limited traction. Outside of that they handle the snow better imo than fwd cars do.
LAME! NOT ENOUGH DRIFTING! jk thats obviously NOT the point of this video.
