Jesus Christ - this post just irritates me for some reason.

Situations like these are what AAA is for.

There's in a weather emergency going on, so the world can't revolve around you right now. Besides, all the cops are busy stuffing corpses into body bags on Capital and Beacon Hill right now.

I can fully relate to his frustration. it's not a weather emergency. not many cities or areas get completely shut down like this due to a little bit of snow and ice. people in the pacific nw cannot drive for $hit in winter.

people seem to gamble around here and do not prepare for the winter time at all. then they take stupid routes or drive in areas their car isn't capable of getting through, and make life miserable for everyone else just trying to get around. I posted some related vids about some of the failure going on last night lol.

I was pulling people off the ditches last night so I could see them slam on the brakes and ditch their cars again in the next one! What pisses me off is that the debris that slashed my tires was a broken link of a tire chain! I will pay $200+ now b/c some dumb drive could not put on their chains correctly! I put 200+ miles in the snow since last night! Not even a single problem! So yes it does come to people's skills, manners, courtesy and so forth! WA drivers are not the best!

Honestly dude, the Z is NOT the kind of car you want to be driving around in when there's snow and ice on the ground. Anyway, broken chain links, rocks, whatever... road hazards are everywhere, and it's fate that you hit one. It sucks, but that's life. It's not the cops that made your life stink.

If you want to see NO COURTESY on the roads, try driving in Asia or the Middle East some time. WA drivers are awesome, as far as I'm concerned, and I've been to just about every state and every continent.

There used to be a time when they could, but then everyone migrated here in the 1980s from states without mountains and the butterfly effect took hold.

The only people who can REALLY drive well in the snow are from Alaska and that's probably because they're usually drunk.

I have a feeling he wasn't pulling cars out of ditches in the Z. Not everyone in here just drives a Z. This is hardly a weather emergency, what makes this dangerous, is the drivers trying to do things that they should not. How many videos have we seen of cars sliding down hills?! Why didn't choose a better route? These idiots they chose to risk it.

Police officers should stop to help. If they have an emergency to get to, I get it, don't stop to help. But if they're in route to a call, their lights should be running.

WA drivers are known to be some of the poorest in the country. It's as if the put on blinders when they get behind the wheel. As for courtesy, I witnessed dozens of cars drive past stranded drivers near my home. I put on my snow gear and walked to go help people get back on the road. I would have never seen that where I grew up in CA.

I was born and raised in Europe. Dude, driving manners and courtesy are engrained in every driver whether having had 1 or 20 years of experience. I just hate the fact that people here are so set on getting somewhere at any price. Cops are inconsiderate. They would pull you over and chastise you how important safety is, but in reality they have not contributed to anyone's safety. BTW, all that happened in my Sierra. Gotta love the diesel power

FTMFW!

4WD plus knowing when to not drive on inclines is key. Actually, the hill by my house is pretty steep, threw her into fulltime 4WD midway up the hill, done deal.

Spotted a black Z with single exhaust driving down Steilacoom Blvd near Clover Park Tech school in Lakewood this morning around 10:45am. I think it may have been Villain.
