More easily than a RWD thats for sure
stoic ledge
Yeah FWD is way easier in snow or icy conditions than RWD
But most importantly, drive cautious/slow/adjusted to the environment
You can have the baddest 4WD with winter tyres etc, if you drive like a jerk you still end up in a ditch
#1 thing: adjust your driving style
fathom socket
I literally have 0 grip and I can't get out of my "parking lot"
I let the clutch slowly go
And i already have wheel spin and 0 traction
I had no issues on snowy and icy road with my eUP. Kickdown uphill going quite well, ESP doesn't let it break out but gives as much torque as it could apply.
I mean like road that is literally ice under the snow
and nobody want's to clear it because it's way too much work
Its not like we would have road maintenance 🤣

mazda 2 factory radios have a tendency to die aswell

My driver door speaker doesn't work at all and my right one started being static the other day

im really lucky that my audi came with manuals because the radio needs a code if the battery is dead/disconnected

civic needs a code sometimes aswell
i think its for if someone decided to steal the bloomin shitty radio that will only fit in a civic
fathom socket
i have the same issue with the driver door speakers

Security radios are the worst lol

my guess is a wire is broken because the door is constantly bending it

I don't think you completely grasp the concept of the Previa

But holy fuck working on them is complicated
I'm not looking forward to changing the supercharger oil
Nor am I excited to change the valve cover gasket
Or the front accessory shaft bushings

The propulsion is quite irrelevant for driving on ice lol
Most important are tires and driving style

Its actually not. Because of ESP and engine latency

If youre on ice, do almost nothing.
No sharp steering and especially do NOT touch any Pedal. Let the engine accelerate and break for you.

Law wise, the person on the middle track did wrong. Because that person didnt foresight the next 5-10 seconds of what might happen.
Before you overtake on the Autobahn, you have to look back to check if no car is in the way or will shortly Bypass you.
The concept of the flashing lights you mention usually is considered when on the left lane u drive behind someone else who could change lane.

So the law on the autobahn is basically the same as the law on any road is what im gathering?
stoic ledge
Iirc even though the autobahn speed is unlimited, you're in the wrong if the conditions aren't good enough to drive at speed. It'll probably be a 50/50 I assume, both are wrong

yeah except people can overtake with massive speed differences

10/10 times the middle car would have been at fault in the US. I didnt see a signal on the lane change.

Like what do they expect, that I magically disappear?
fathom socket
Its similar but less restricted than on normal roads. If on a normal road u overtake on the opposite lane and someone else needs to break, by that point u did something wrong.
If on the Autobahn u change lane and someone needs to break, you do not directly did something wrong, as its in the same direction. Only if it results in a dangerous Situation.
stoic ledge
If you look close enough the car is indicating
100% sure
It's just hard to see on camera
Look at it frame by frame, you can see the light changing
fathom socket
Usually u start indicating at least 5 seconds before you start to change the lane after you checked its free.

Passing other vehicles with a 100km/h speed difference is asking for trouble
