There is fairly decent public transit through much of the greater Vancouver area. To me, there is no excuse for not having winter grade tires on your car in January or driving too fast for the road conditions. And, yes, I'm one of those annoying people who do not drive the speed limit if the road conditions are bad.

You only live once! Get out there and conquer your fears! Drive, baby, drive!
Seriously, congratulations on knowing your limits and staying within them.

Not sure if it is the car-centric culture or the people who share the simple optimism of Pollyanna that nothing bad will happen to them.
