Default Re: Trip Report - I wrecked my car yesterday

Swede,
Did you hit black ice or did you just skid on the wet road?

Sorry about the accident. Same things happen here in Salt Lake on the first big storm. Especially the people driving way to slow for conditions and creating bottlenecks for everyone else driving a safe speed for conditions. People seem to now know that if a row of cars come upon a car going much slower then normal there is a whipsaw effect that cause every car farther back to have to slow down faster and faster until the guy way back in the back ends up slamming on his brakes.
