Spotted black 911 at 9 this morning west bound on the QEW at Winston Churchill. Using the on ramp to pass traffic, cut in front cars in the slow lane and continue weaving through traffic down past Ford drive.

Assuming you must be a doctor, rushing to the hospital to save someones life. If not you drive like an ***-hat.

Not exactly spotted by me, but did see a badly damaged sapphire GT4 on Global News Toronto - as part of their snowstorm coverage and resultant traffic accidents.

As Trump would say..SAD!

[QUOTE=CamsPorsche;13812986] [/QUOTE]

The tire tracks in the snow sure looks like the Lexus couldn't stop behind the vehicle on the right, swerved to avoid it then creamed the GT4.

This is one of the reasons I put my P car away for the winter, so that I don't get run into by these morons driving beyond their ability and probably on "no-season" tires.

snows aren't really necessary in Toronto. I'd rather mandate that people be required to know how to drive.

I agree, been here driving in GTA since 95 with commutes of 100-300 km/day and never put snow tires on the DD that run all seasons.

After driving with snows for 10 years, I wouldn't be without. Its not just snow. The compound is much more sure footed when it is cold. For a thousand bucks over 5 years? It also allows your regular tires to last much longer.
