    Once in a blue moon people will screw up on I-96 either near Grand Rapids or Lansing!

    I always like I96 from Lansing to Port Huron
    Seemed so peaceful, light traffic. Ran that way once a week for a couple years

    What gets me about these humans is that they will slip & slide and often bust their keester getting to their vehicle, then drive as if their vehicle has ice-defying miracle gravity wheels!

    At least there’s not a bunch of Trucks involved this time. Looks like JB was on the ball. Biggest problem is you can’t tell what others are doing. Worst one I’ve been in was in Jackson County on 1-94. Rode the hammer lane rumble strip, once I felt it, through a curve, hoping no one stopped in front of me. Other time was near Pittsburgh on 79, snow squall came out of nowhere, while going across a bridge. Slowed down a bit, not too much, hoped for the best. Probably only 10 seconds each time. That’s a long 10 seconds though, Lol.
