• Ohh, so “pavement” meaning a sealed road surface?

      In my head I’m trying to figure out what the footpath (U.S. “sidewalk”) a.k.a. U.K. pavement fits in with the jibe.

        Yep, at least in Canada “pavement” is either a sealed asphalt road surface, or the walking path in a garden or public park. Never the footpath on the side of a road, that’s a sidewalk or footpath.

        A more common term for them here is “brodozer”. A portmanteau of “bro” and “bulldozer”.

      • Usually because they’re only FWD and don’t have the 4x4 option or their suspension is just not set up for that and they end up not having enough traction to get them out of where they are. There’s plenty of videos online of like Jeeps and Subarus pulling huge pickup trucks out of spots they got stuck.
