Learnt that as a rule, just drive like you were taught, slowly and smoothly. Panic and shit just goes berserk, lots of fun though.

The first time it snowed after I got my license I did the same thing. Found a large empty parking lot and started practicing. I only drive manuals too.. so thats another reason why I did that, it takes some practice to start a manual off in the snow without just spinning tires. The next year I learned how great snow tires are. ;D

People are getting lazy as shit so they're more miffed by cold than anything.
BAWWWWWWWWWWWW I need to wear jacket? Can't run around with nearly no clothes? BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I can't tailgate as often? BAWWWWWWWWWWW this is fucking democracy, I should be able to do whatever I want! BAWWWWWWWWWW
I can't help but believe people are more retarded in this day and age. Come on. it's just a bit of cold. You have to call a WHAAAAAAAAmbulance because you have to wear warmer clothes? Are you fucking serious? Some kids in the 3rd world would love to wear the shitty clothes they're paid like 10 cents a day to make, rather than the rags they use to cover up.
I have never used snow tires. Only all season. My personal belief is that if you need snow tires, you're compensating for shitty driving habits. There are those who many need them due to them driving frequently before the ploughs go out, or they live in a small town and need to drive on covered highways etc. but in general, the populace should be able to survive on ASRs if they don't drive like retards.

Well I drive for a living now, so I kind of need snow tires as I will be on the roads before plows. We also get a few blizzards a year here, many times all-seasons wouldnt move my car at all which is why I went with snow tires. If the car doesnt move at all then it has nothing to do with your driving habits. :P
But yes, you should learn how the car reacts in the snow on all-seasons.

Lol raaaaage :laugh:
One thing that kind of annoys me is that someone, yelling outside my door right now for no real reason, is using the argument that cold weather=they should stay up later. Why...?

I take issue with people who have a belief the world should be dumbed down to make it easy and comfortable for them. Fucking rich mentality. A snobbish 1st world perception.
@Char, your vehicle should move fine with ASRs as long as they have enough tread. Even crappy snow tires with little tread is useless. The main difference is that ASRs are used almost all the time and people "save up" snow tires. Which means in general, snow tires have tread, but someone on ASRs may have burned through most of their tread during the summer/autumn prior to winter.
I keep a spade shovel in the trunk of my infiniti. My brother laughed at me for doing so. One winter later, he told me he used it over a dozen times not for himself, but to dig out friends. He told me once, he was in a friends vehicle and had to pull out another friend. They dug through snow with hands like retards for over an hour. Other than the time when we first bought the infiniti and had nearly bald tires (and my bro crashed into a snow drift) we have never had control problems with the infiniti with ASRs on. We have good enough tread. My tires are 2.5 years old now and they're still great for winter driving conditions. Oh, I might want to add that the braking system is(was?) fuxxored, allowing for water to get into the system which meant the brakes were freezing last winter. We still were able to stop the vehicle with no brakes and with ice on the roads. A cool head helps a lot to determine how to keep from getting into accidents.
