Snowy day in MN, driving on Franklin Ave. Blizzaks on. I decelerate for a red light, pretty gently I should add. As I slow, I notice a Mazda MPV 4WD/AWD coming up from behind pretty quickly. It starts to slow but obviously not enough. I can't go forward (cross traffic) so I just sit and wait. Slam, slide forward a bit (a few inches I'd guess).
We pull off (it's rush hour) and when the driver of the Mazda gets out, the first thing she says is:
"I don't know what happened! I had my 4wd on and everything!"
Uh yeah... I was very tempted to explain the difference between braking a large, heavy vehicle with all-seasons vs. a light, blizzak wearing car with ABS. I really wanted to reply that "We all have 4 wheel brakes lady!"
Oh well.
