This is why people keep slowing down way before turning…to avoid this situation.

If only there was some way to know that the roads are icy...and covered in snow. Then people would know to slow down

That's not gone well.

Eat a fucking dick. You know fuck all about the situation.

It’s fine

Right? Even the best drivers have accidents sometimes. We all do our best. I hope the person is ok.

It looks fine.

Idk why you’re getting shit for that comment. Glad OP is safe, but honestly if you’re gonna just drive off the road like that you need some serious practice before driving on roads that weren’t even that bad.

I know they were going too fast for the conditions

You can drive in any weather. Just not necessarily in the direction that you want to go.

I bet you do. You professional, you! ;)

Yeah it was pretty slick this morning for sure.

Yeah it’s the stopping that’s hard. Driving? No problem.

I was in NYC yesterday for a work event and my coworker from PA was talking about how his son and friends were in Vermont for the weekend. And then he shows me a photo and text from his son saying “don’t tell mom” and it’s his friend’s suv on its side on the side of the road with the airbags deployed. Apparently my coworker could make the event because he was in NY waiting for them to show up on the train that evening…

Is this in Greensboro?

I dunno. 4 tires on black ice or something, only so much you can do maybe.
More importantly tho, you’ve recently posted some excellent VT content. Good stuff 🍻!

When the plow trucks dump salt and it melts the ice - then it gets refrozen...
Yeah bruh, the roads were that bad.

Step 1) Don't lock the brakes
blutbad_buddy t1_j4bn55e wrote
It's worse! I barely made it out of my driveway because of the slush, but ice and snow are no problem for my Patriot. Plus you can't see the ruts so you get yanked around on the dirt roads on that greasy mess.

Whoopsie! Hopefully everyone is OK and there isn't much of a repair bill. Don't let the turkeys in this thread get you down, it happens sometimes. Live and learn!

It was just me and my very first car crash
Outrageous-Outside61 t1_j4dzp4i wrote
Yeah, I mean, they were bad here too but that’s besides the point. Unless someone hits you you’re always at fault in an accident. Cars are fucking dangerous and if you or your vehicle isn’t adequately prepared for the situation you should stay home. Just my two sense on it, and not saying I haven’t done my share of stupid shit I shouldn’t have done either.
Outrageous-Outside61 t1_j4dzzvo wrote
Also I’m not gonna lie I’ve got all my days combined with a five day old newborn, so forgive my completely moronic statements of “the roads weren’t that bad” and “they were bad here too” I’ll just blame the sleep deprivation and show myself out 😂😂

That's a gentle "this is what it's like to be in a crash" experience you got.
Learn from it instead of thinking they all end like that.

I’ll bet my alleged dog that they hit the brakes going around that corner.
Fun-Midnight1010 OP t1_j4ihgoy wrote
I tried to brake but slid
Odd-Philosopher5926 t1_j4iov8v wrote
Hitting the brakes is the instinct when sliding but it guarantees the complete loss of steering
