Why would it be? You yourself say that the advice is wrong as often as it is right and:
-
Most people have never experienced worst case road conditions and most of those think they have.
-
Some people have never NOT used GPS for a long drive.
-
Some people have AWD or FWD and figure it'll get them through anything (see 1).

The point here was that in heavy snow it is generally better to stick to roads that are being cleared, salted, or sanded. Since navigation only knows traffic and not road conditions, it may try to direct you onto (rural) roads that are impassible by your vehicle.

Reply to comment by lapsangsouchogn in Pot twist: Cannabis firm refuses federal judge's ruling because its business isn't legal under federal law by Doc_Dante
Generally illegal contracts are unenforceable. Ostensibly, the law is not intended to help secure ill gotten gains.
This is a weird one because pot isn't very illegal. If the landlord had gone to the state court, this wouldn't be an issue. At the state level it is legal to possess, buy and sell weed. Dispensaries are just another tenant.
However, the landlord went to federal court. In federal court, it is NOT legal to possess, buy or sell weed. In fact, it is illegal to even rent to "dealers".
Which brings up the question. If the federal judge rules that the contract is enforceable then he's ruling that it is legal.

Not clear. To ask a related question: Can New York suspend a New Jersey license?
In this case it is sort of moot because: 1) his car was impounded for 14 days and 2) he still has to wait another 16 days after that before he would be allowed to drive it back to the States.
