Yes, except we have HILLS... which justifies us driving like weenies.
neither of these guys sound like washington natives - it is mostly the idiots from CA who move here can drive -sounds like you are referring to them
Drivers in Western WA don't do well...and that's being nice. Can't do snow, can't do rain, can't merge, don't get the concept of the passing lane, and it goes on.
Um, what is the point of this video???
The real story was on Highlands drive last night where cars spun out and there was a car fire. This video told us nothing.
Looks like they were just testing out their new camera.
The snow in Western Washington is wetter, so it makes the tire one huge snowball. Far different than the dry snow of eastern washington, so stop knocking the driveing skills.
I think the two guys sound hot!
Did I actually just watch two guys drive down the road for 2 minutes and 44 seconds? Tell me how that was so exciting? At one point someone is actually whistling as they drive along. Seriously people? Get a life!!
Goldy can we knock your spelling skills?
WASTE OF TIME
iq82101283 , after I posted my comment, I figured someone would comment about it.. (unfortunately I couldn't correct it in this forum) and commenting on spelling on these forums is as wasteful of time as watching the video.
I can agree somewhat, drivers around here can vary. You can get a inch of snow and people FREAK out, schools close, people stay home, it's unbelievable. But, if you can't handle the road, stay off it.
Listen....I grew up in Eastern Washington (Wenatchee) and have lived on heavens side (Western) of the state since 1977. There are just as many lame brained drivers in Eastern Washington as here.
We're australian and the point of the video was to just highlight how fast things just turned the moment some frozen water fell from the sky :) the comments made me laugh.
I apologize for the inconsidered and rude comments of fellow Washingtonians. It did turn bad very quickly out there.
I grew up in California at 2500 ft elevation so I know what it is like in the snow. I do think that people need to calm down on the roads when it snows.
It's not that difficult to drive in snow, just don't be a moron about it. have the right tires, and when you start to slide DON'T SLAM THE BRAKES!!!!! gear down... even in an automatic. the "3-2-L" is there for a reason.
