Especially that last part, I found that all the asshole minivan drivers/pickup trucks that blew by me ended up stuck or spun out a couple kms down the road.
Even if you have a vehicle that is safe with proper tires and you're driving appropriately for the conditions - which we did, my lack of experience driving in the winter made things 10x worse. I suppose the key part of the coquihala is that people shouldn't drive on it, if they haven't had experience driving in the snow, especially if they can't even drive in the GVRD with little snow.
Tl;dr: don't drive the coquihala if you don't have heavy winter driving experience. The semis that force you off the road make everything so much worse.
AWD/FWD helps too, driving that 325 was like driving a 1000 hp supra (i'd imagine)
