Especially if the road is unplowed... <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I live in eastern Canada and we have a lot of snow during the winter. If a road is unplowed, I would be hesitant to engage myself onto it. I would ask myself "hey, this is a secondary road, this should be plowed under normal circumstances"... I would constantly be reassessing the situation, up to the point where I know darn well that my front-wheel drive car would have problems : time to turn around.

James Kim should've stopped driving and turned around when he saw that the amount of snow on the road could keep the car from getting unstucked in case of problems.
