It’s my experience that it’s quite the opposite and they’re all shit at driving in the snow. No precaution seems to be made to slow down and the roads just become skid pans with lots of spin outs and crashes. Something of an over confidence like ‘we’re very experienced driving in snowy conditions’ The section of Highway 401 that passes Toronto, the busiest highway in North America, is a nightmare to travel along in the winter.

Ah, thanks, so perhaps familiarity breeds contempt. Always interesting how people's attitude to risk changes based on what they expect and don't expect.

I'd agree with that. Having driven along those roads a few times in snow everyone is still blasting along at 80mph in their pickups.
