Once, one a sleety night in upstate NY, I was exiting a parking lot to a highway that had a slight slope. No problem until fully on the highway, where I did a 360, slid backwards and ended up where I’d started from. Black ice.

We get it up in these hills and most of the time, the car hydroplanes. Many a serious accidents have happened over the years.

I don’t mind driving in the snow, and wouldn’t mind the ice if I was the only one on the road. So many drivers pay no attention to the possible, and then real conditions. They don’t seem to get it that stopping, regardless of what you are driving, is going to take a lot more space than dry conditions.
