well hell waldo the fools down here don't get snow even once a year regular. so when it snows/ices they treat it like its dry. Mucho accidents. i was coming around a set of s-curves near where i live, i usually blaze through them at 60 in my firebird(well.. it was mine, totalled now, was cut off by a leftturn idiot) when it iced i went around them at 15 and still felt it slip a bit, not much i just got off the gas and she got traction back.but as i rounded the first corner what do i see? (no not a eight tiny reindeer!) a little honda accord off in the ditch, i had to drive another 50 feet up the road and pull into a little driveway type spot that crossed the ditch, went can got the driver out of her car, she was shaking like a leaf on a tree, lent her my cell she called her parents who were there in about 15 mins, would have been 5 if it was dry, so they knew to be slower.. they were thankful i stopped to check on her. she turned out to be just fine, just shaken.
and of course what happens just after the wrecker towes her car out and off? another yahoo comes slamming into the spot she was in. because this road was lightly travelled no one else came by when i was there. had i not stopped and helped her she may have been in even more trouble..
she and her parents had'nt left yet, see saw that car hit where she was. walked over gave me a hug and said "Thank you, you might have just saved my life" she was a pretty lady. we became friends, shes 21 but anti, trying to convert her ;)
like you saw waldo.. these people are idiots. I don't know much about snow driving, i do know the key... slow the hell down.
