I was out during a freezing rain storm last year going down a hill and EVERYONE was sliding around bumping into parked cars going 20 miles an hour :pachaha:

there was a truck stuck in the middle of the hill, dude was just sitting there hitting the gas going nowhere... [of course the idiots kept coming up the road zooming passed me as I'm crawling along and skidding all over the place :snoop:

Black ice, sometimes called clear ice, refers to a thin coating of glazed ice on a surface.
While not truly black, it is virtually transparent, allowing black asphalt/macadam roadways to be seen through it,

i live in the boonies, was driving only like 40km/h then hit a sheet of black ice, i knocked over some farmers mailbox and went right into a small pond/snow embankment.

the road was so bad, even when i called the cops, the fire truck skidded off the road just ahead of me almost into the same spot i did.


my car is prob a total writeoff but im alive, ish was the scariest moment of my life brehs

i lost my phone in the water, my back hurts but at least im still kicking.


and yes i had snow tires:stopitslime:




black ice is no joke
40km/h is 24 miles an hour here in America...

That black ice is no joke. That's why my car stays in the garage when the weather is bad.

That's another benefit of living downtown. Public transit. :umad:
