152Paul I believe it's tara?Also plseae learn from this:One time after a night-time ice storm in the mountainsof Virgina, I was driving down the main '4 lanes in eachdirection highway', etc. I had pulled over the nightbefore, when I noticed the roads became eerily emptyaround 7pm at night (early January). I turned on theradio, and heard the ice storm warning. But the next day,we were told the highway was salted and safe to drivenormally.I was still being cautious driving 55, while otherswere whizzing by me, even though the grassy median andsides of the road were littered with abandoned twistedtractor-trailers and cars in unbelievable positions likestrewn toys which had to be abandoned the night before (many people slept in schools!)Anyway, going over a long bridge, my light-weight smallpick-up truck immediately started fish-tailing completelyout of control so much that my mouth opened wider thanit ever had and I couldn't help but gasp in one continuous inhalation until I was at end of the bridge and I got control of my truck again.Luckily I was alone on the bridge at time, because mytruck swerved completely into both of the other laneson either side of me at different times.At the end, there was one thought in my mind terror'.I just thought now I know the true meaning of terror'.I will never drive in those conditions again, even ifadvised it is safe. Although it is true my truck waslight, and I didn't have snow tires, etc. It's stillnot worth it to me.My father and I also did a 360 on black ice once, where wetotally went into the on-coming lane in the beginning.*There's my personal Public Safety Warning!*
