sharimcm 0 #1 January 18, 2007 A co-worker of mine decided to play pinball with his truck yesterday when the ice was starting to melt. Now, his truck is well... Just a little dented... Moral of the story - truck + ice + stupid people + guardrail + 2 other cars = OUCH!!

sharimcm 0 #3 January 18, 2007 The insurance company said it was pretty much totaled. But, as hard-headed as he is, he said he was going to drive it until the wheels fall off. And, actually, that's only one side of the truck. The front of it is f'ed up as well as the driver side cab area. He was OK, just a little pissed...

SpeedRacer 1 #6 January 18, 2007 an easy rule of thumb: if it's too slippery to walk, it's too slippery to drive. It's not that difficult to understand, people. I cannot understand people who, after an ice storm, will shuffle slowly along on the ice to get to their car, then expect to be able to drive w/ no problems when they could barely even walk.

You CAN safely drive on ice as long as you're CAREFUL!! The people that CAN'T drive on ice are the ones that think they can drive the same speed as on dry pavement. If you take it easy, it can be done. Oh, and if you have good tires, even better. Shuffle to the car ... shuffle the car home. Simple.

sharimcm 0 #12 January 18, 2007 Quote He should be pissed at himself for being such a dumbass. He IS pissed at himself. He was STRESSING to his employees how dangerous it was to be driving on the ice, and he goes off and has an accident by doing what he was telling everyone NOT to do... But it's the black ice that bit him in the ass. "Do as I say, not as I do."

fallfast69 3 #15 January 19, 2007 Yes it is...real ice cannot be driven on. If a 10 or 15 mph wind pushes you sideways, you cannot drive on it. Ice, packed ice, snow, packed snow, are all different. If a gust of wind can blow you off the road, it is un-driveable. If you haven't seen a condition like this, you haven't seen the condition that we are speaking of.
