It's hilariously sad watching these huge trucks driving like they're corvettes on the highway.

I drove a few hundred kilometers on the highway the other day after a bit of snow fall, of course the four cars that I saw in the ditch were pickups

I think in this case it was more the lack of winter tires and weight over the rear

awful lot of people seem to think all-terrain tires are perfectly suited for winter
