Just a few days ago i was driving a toyota rav 4 in canada (im on holidays) up at big white which is about 45mins from Kelowna. It was about 12am, and i figured this thing would cop it sweet in the conditions set ahead of it being a 4wd/Awd and all. Well the roads a bit windy so taking it slow was a defs yes yes or else there are no barriers to guard u from going off the edge about 10-20 m steep down.

But how it goes i was doing about 50km/h and i hit some black ice on a corner, and boy did i sail to the snow bank, and to my luck that snow bank stopped me from going over the edge, but i still got stuck in the small space i had. I was F**king lucky if u ask me.


Being so close to a major incident, just to let u know, be ever so bloody careful when driving in the snow, and make sure u get snow tires fitted at least! Its a terrible feeling having to wait 3-4 hours for a tow truck to come drag your car out of the snow bank/ditch at a not so generous cost. on that note i wouldnt recommend a Rav 4 for driving in such conditions. Its way too light and its 4wd only occurs when yur 40km/h or under before it deactivates.definitely not a car for the extreme conditions in my opinion.


Otherwise Enjoy we all learn from our mistakes.
