I like the euro videos better Most of them share their music with you

Actually, in a lot of cases people just keep the gas on. -
When your on packed snow hitting the brakes is a no no, & besides there was a slight curve, & it much different setting in the drivers seat than watching a video. -
I have many time reacted to things like cars pulling in front going way to slow then voiced the what the hell ####### remarks. One day I may find a few of my videos that show this clearly avoided the problem and only about half way thought it does the mouth open up.OldHasBeen Thanks this. -

I love how everyone comes on and say stuff like he was going to fast for conditions and I bet many of them would have been doing about the same. Maybe we don't know how sticky the road really was heck on a real cold day those roads would have had better traction than a patchy road on a warmer day
I learned to drive in the high country of Colorado how many love that corner at the bottom of Fremont pass going south? Drivers Ed teacher put me in a skid going though it middle winter snow packed point is I know how to drive in snow and ice and some drivers scare the hell out of me.
I ran across OH,IN, and IL the other day at 60-65 MO 65-70. Most of these guys will say it was to fast but I bet a few of them where right there doing the same with me at some point if you was you know the hammer lane with snow cover was better than the slow lane cleaned off.
biggest thing is only do what your comfortable with if your going to fast or to slow for comfort your body tenses up and you make mistakes.
Be safe and do it right
Pass slower I would catch someone running 55 and slow down to match then pass about 57-58 then gain my speed back up (as I told one other driver that was crying a truck cut him off even on dry roads I try to never zoom by anyone you can't see everything they can)
Corners Slow down before then coast though corners.
Patches of ice coast across themOldHasBeen Thanks this. -
Head on Collision Scream like a bia bia don't you say that.
