It's attitudes like this that make the whole winter dangerous.
You've obviously never been educated as to the different rubber types. You know winter tires are better on cold pavement too right? For some people who don't drive in the cold except to the grocery store, no worries. But for those that drive to work even, winter tires are a good idea.
I don't wanna hear anyone with "all season tires" aka summers bitching when I pass you in the winter because you think I'm being dangerous. Shut it. Grow some balls, get some winters, and then maybe you can re-take driving lessons, and THEN you can criticise my driving.
If anyone reads this, take this away: EDUCATE yourself before deciding whether or not you need them, don't just rely on old, outdated assumptions. If you don't get winters, you are endangering society.
