Default honda civic 02 troubles in the snow

Hello,

Today when I moved my car I had problems having the car to move. There was a lot of snow on the ground and my tires wouldn't move past it. Eventually I got out and was stuck in the snow unable to move when i reved up the gas. I eventually reversed and started moving the wheel back and forth and it allowed me to continue. I that four wheel drive? or front wheel drive?

Winter tires or traction aids would help. I keep a little snow shovel in my trunk.

They are full time all wheel drive. Thats why they are so good to race from a dig.

not to mention he lives in Toronto? You would think in a country where snow is a normal occurance, they would teach the kids how to drive up there.

I never have trouble driving my civic in the snow. I do keep a shovel in the back just incase.

Are you sure you aren't over driving in the snow causing the problem?

Sadly, Canada has 1 fault. People here drive like morons in the snow. THey use summer tires and drive way to fast. I dont understand y people think spending $200 on winter tires is a waste of money, when it only helps prevent the loss of either their life, or their car.
