So the GTA got a healthy dumping of snow yesterday afternoon/evening.
I had an interview in Mississauga mid-afternoon and got there from Scarborough in about 30 minutes.
After the interview, I got in my car at 4pm, and got home to Scarborough (DVP/401) at 8pm. FOUR hours for a trip that would have taken me 30 minutes.
I am usually a very calm driver, but was it just me, or were the roads and visibility pretty good yesterday?? Even with the snow and wind, I never had a problem seeing.
There were no plows on the road yet, and the salters were moving at a click.
There were no accidents, and no stalled cars on the side of the road.
Why do drivers feel the need to slow down to 10km/hour when there is a snowflake on the ground???
I don't feel that there was a need to drive that slow - of course, in winter conditions it's important to drive safely, but when I got on York Mills at Yonge, I was able to go over 40km/hour with no slipping, sliding, or problems braking.
BRUTAL.
