how do you train people to drive in the snow in Los Angeles
The same way you train people to drive in the snow in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark etc. the 8-11 month of the year there is no snow on the ground.
- nemothekid 5y agoI think most of the replies are tunnel-visioning on the snow-in-la-aspect. Even if you do start training people to start drive well in the snow, I don't think that will meaningfully reduce accidents, at least in LA. Especially when you consider DUIs and texting-and-driving contributes way more to accidents in LA.
- dagw 5y agoLearning to drive in 'snow' has mostly been useful to me when driving in mud or very wet roads. But mostly seeing first hand how small the margins between total control and complete loss of control are has led to me driving far more defensively on wet roads. Just experiencing that feeling of sitting in a car that is spinning off doing its own thing and completely ignoring your feeble attempts at breaking and steering is illuminating.
