What? Compared to most lower mainland drivers, most Alberta drivers are much much better in winter, hell maybe even summer!
Not only do most of us know how to drive in the snow/ice most have basic driving skills.
Face it - one of the most frustrating things about visiting/living in the GVRD is driving.
Really it just comes down to experiance and well Alberta, if you haven't noticed, gets a lot of snow/crap driving weather.
