A rear wheel drive vehicle does not handle well on snow and ice. I am at my daughter's in Tennessee and about 2 inches of snow fell yesterday. It paralyzed the place and I actually stayed over an extra night to avoid the mess.Well I hit ice and my car could not stop. You can call that hydroplaning or not. That's up to you. There were thousands of accidents today. When I called the police, they could not file a police report today since we were not injured and there were too many other accidents to tend to. The accident range is in the thousands. Southerners never see snow, so no, we do not know how to handle this weather. We also do not have people regularly tending to the roads, either. My car is front wheel drive, if that helps you any. I just talked to the insurance adjuster, and he said that since there were so many wrecks today due to ice and snow that they deem is a catastrophic loss and not surcharge me.
