bid time, in defense of 3oaks, his point is that if we don't have to tow in really bad conditions, we might want to choose not to. Work related driving is entirely different -- it is not optional. Recreational driving is somewhat more optional.
My upcoming trip to Utah, for example, is now on hold until the weather forecast comes into clearer focus -- if I am going to have to tow a trailer through 600 miles of blizzard, I might just choose to stay home, sad as that is. I have killer tires on my truck, and chains for both the truck and the trailer, but there is a limit to my courage. (Sigh.)
