Well we've gone weeks without snow here and as always people forget how to drive when the snow flys. We got some snow overnight and I was on the losing end of a bad driver this morning on my way to work. A girl in an old square body Ford Taurus lost it entering the highway and skidded across both lanes of traffic into the left lane where I had moved over to allow traffic to merge. I saw it coming but there was nothing much I could do, it was slick as snot so I knew slamming on my brakes would just put me in a spin so I just braced and held the wheel straight. Her car took the impact in the left rear quarter and trunk area and by the pics you can see where I took it. In this case mass won, my near 6000 pounds sent her car for a complete spin into the ditch and my truck stuck to the road and I rolled to a stop out of the way of traffic. Neither of us are hurt but I bet she will be sore tomorrow, she went for a hell of a ride into that ditch. I imagine she got a ticket, cop told me it was clear it was her fault and she admitted to it. Im glad no one was hurt and Im also glad I was able to drive away from it, her car left on a flatbed.
