Well, I took a long slide on ice once with my Jeep...
part
of the road
flooded then froze over.. maybe 100 feet or so.. just
put
it in
reverse and gently applied some gas. Came to stop
without
hitting the
pole at the end of the road.


I hit a 300' long patch of ice coming down Grapevine one
year. Started to slide, into a jackknife, hammered
down,
wheels spinning like crazy, just enough to stay slightly
ahead of the trailer, finally hit some plowed snow and
straightened out. Whew! that was some ride! I was
looking
for a soft place to crash.

Do you have runaway truck ramps? Of course, that doesn't
help if
you jackknife.


yes, I never had to use one. !,555,000 accident free miles.


I'm always amazed by the bozos who cut off big rigs...
what are they
thinking??

they're not.
