mercman Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 that was an actual quote from a lady that caused a 7 car pile up on the 401. 20 years ago i drove tow truck for diamond towing. that was the first thing out of her mouth when she got into my tow truck. by the time i got her to her body shop , i had her convinced to call Greenspan (the most expensive lawyer) and file a lawsuit against GM.

BillM Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I still think the best thing is to have a 6 inch steel spike on everyones steering wheel. Everyone would drive safer. I think this would prevent far more accidents than ABS or Snow tires combined. It may have some unintended consiquiences like natural selection though. lmao!

Tybo Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 ABS was first put on BMW motorcycles to prevent hydro-planing. It work so well they decided to install them on their cars.caddy got a hold of them and figure out how to produce them cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governator Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I live in Barrie and if you don't have winter tires on here you should have your tires slashed or just be a hermit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) i wonder if cram has ever made a fishing post... i guess the pot doesn't stir itself. my only point was that snowtires don't take the place of common sense, something that's hardly ever employed on 400 series highways. i wonder if the gentleman that died in a farm field did so because he didn't have snow tires, or because he lacked common sense?

swiftability Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I've recently put Kumho Solus KR21 M+S tires on my light truck. I was reffered to this brand by my mechanic who is a friend of mine same time. He mentioned the Korean tires got 1 place for price/value last year and they're decent ones. I did mt own research and bought them. Pretty nice, didn't even heard my ABS working yet (but it works, I checked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 If everyone would just drive a Toyota TUNDRA we wouldn't even have this discussion because you would be driving a 4X4 truck with vehicle stability control, anti lock brakes, traction control, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist and Trailer-Sway Control... Bob, not Billy... It would probably be easier for you to get personality and mental stability control and learn how to drive, then you wouldn't need a toyota to do it for you...
