    I just rewatched it my eyes were playing tricks on me the first time I thought they were on top of a smaller hill for some reason now thinking deeper about it I'll get trying to stay a little close to see if you could help them when it stops.
    Just my first thought was about there safety.
    I just hope I'm never involved in something like this to see how I would actually react to something like this

    Now I have a question for @Flat Earth Trucker ....
    Are/were you a fan of ICP?, because your title looks quite similar to one of theirs.
    :-D

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I never received notification.

    Am I a fan of ICP? No. Those guys are a bit out there for even me.

    I you have ever visited London, England and rode the tubes, then the audible warnings and the MIND THE GAP logo conspicuously posted around the London underground will become forever etched into your mind.

    Similarly, once you realize that the Earth is flat, that you've been lied to about the very nature of reality, something in your mind is awakened and you'll never forget the moment of this grand epiphany.

    So, when I spied The Earth is Flat wrapped in the Mind the Gap logo, it was only natural for me to want to rip it off and use it.

    It's not my Winter driving skills I am worried about, it's all the other drivers Blind Faith of theirs and their lack of common sense that has me Off The roads soon as it starts getting Krappy.

    This applies when I am driving my personal vehicle also.

    The Stupidity I saw in my one year of winter driving last year compared to the way people drove 35 years ago before I moved to Florida was Scary to say the least.

    My thoughts exactly tommymonza. I get worried about others on wet roads even. I remember when I really really enjoyed driving (pre-1980s).
    Gas was relatively cheap & the roads were'nt near a crowded as now. Most of my jobs back then involved driving, I delivered papers in my car, drove a taxicab, drove a couple of 3 axle produce trucks. Now if I want to take a pleasureable drive I stay on state & county routes, thankfully there's still some open country around heah.
     
    7-UP and tommymonza Thank this.

    I cannot count how many times my cb kept me out of trouble. I've been warned about a crash or stopped traffic ahead early enough to pull onto a ramp, check the map & go around instead of wasting time sitting still on the road. The few times my cb quit working I'd buy another when I dropped mine off at a cb shop. If I didnt have it I felt I was missing alot. As far as the the bs on the cb, just turn the squelch up or down(?) until I get outa range.
