I am driving about 25mph-30mph on Rt 43 through Sheboygan Wi in a snow storm. There is a long over pass that is all asphalt and when it freezes it is treacherous because of black ice. When I come over the rise, cars are scattered everywhere. I tap my brakes to check for. black ice. No traction. So between down shifting and letting the weight of the truck slow me down. I was able to slow down to an idle. I made it through OK
Next this Chesehead comes flying around me and flips over onto his roof. Lesson learned ? Probably not
To your point slow down, leave early, and put the phone down.
Mike.
