Default Dumbest statement of the year....so far


"Bob Crantz" wrote in message

The statement is absolutely correct. A plowed street can be worse than
unplowed, especially if there is packed ice underneath.

I have to agree with RB.


Now Bob.... don't bait Bobsprit like that. We both know that if there is ice
under a snowfall... it's an Ice Road.... and the three requirements are to
be able to make progress, to be able to direct progress and to be able to
halt progress.

Certainly if your "SUV" has a 12" clearance and you drive into 24" of
snow.... stopping will not be an issue..... progress and direction will come
to an abrupt halt. If the same vehicle encounters a low traction area... a
simple reduction of speed will allow all three factors to be retained and
safely make directed progress

And this is where you were baited and snared, Mooron. And then Scotty
bit your tail and both of you were hauled aboard. Read my original
statement again.
Bottom line: A plowed road can be worse than 9 inches of snow,
especially for an SUV.

Not so fast there Bobsprit..... here's what you said.." And if you knew
anything about driving you might know that a plowed street can be worse than
unplowed."

Your option on an unplowed street is coming to a stop.... that's not driving
Bobsprit.. that's *parking*..... now if you had even a modicum of knowledge
in vehicle control on snow and ice.... you never would have made that
statement.

No, it's not parking. It's also slowing down, which is part of driving.
You're not just on the hook, you've eaten the rod.
Give it up. You're getting desperate and everyone can tell.

Dude, you just said "stopping is parking." End of the road for you.
Desperate is putting it in a friendly way so you can just slink away.
You lost...again.

It must be the car you drive.... it stops so often for no reason you
consider it driving????

He's lying again.
Here's the original post;
No mention of 9''.
No mention of SUV.
..No mention of ice.

Wow, a real explorer you are, driving on the plowed

streets
of NYC.


Nothing was plowed in Kew Gardens this morning and only

part of Forest
Hills. And if you knew anything about driving you might

know that a
plowed street can be worse than unplowed. Of course you

don't know and
you have a Kia!!!
