So great tires, good driver? I think you were the more sensible one and thus the better driver, especially since you were close to the speed limit in the snow and thus to pass you so fast he was clearly going over it.
x2. It's not a race, you have nothing to prove to the people around you when you're on the road. You can enjoy your own car without worrying about the poor driving habits of others. And besides, he's in a Focus, you're in a 1er. Doesn't matter how fast he can go, you're going to have waaaay more winter fun in your RWD coupé
