During the last two days snowstorms, I have been looking at the way people in general drive in the snow. Its funny how some people in high dollar SUV's can't seem to find the 4wd button and putz along at 50kph in the left lane with their 4way flashers on. The morons in lowered rice burners that think they can still do 130kph in 6 inches of snow only to find the ditch or the guard rail.. Then theres the folks pulling sled trailers at the speed limit not really seeming to notice the bad weather. So I started to wonder if good drivers take up sledding or sledders become good drivers in winter due to the fact that most of us trailer somewhere every weekend. What do you think?

I have to say yes on this one. Becuase snowmobilers are use to the slippery conditions and know how to react quickly.

definately. but it depends. I grew up on a sled and i think it helped a lot. If you can't drive a sled then i guess the same goes with a car. bottom line is your a sucky driver period. and deal with it. people who know how to ride definatly see benefits driving a car

I think it definitely helps, but if you drive like an idiot on the trails, chances are you do it on the road, too.

i live in the u.p, and sugarbeaters(no offence to the downstaters) do way under the speed limit if there is snow on the ground up here, or it is snowing. i know that you guys arent as used to it, but it pisses me off when i have to be at school, and im stuck behind them going 30mph down the highway, and they are kicking up too much snow dust to pass them.
