    Some more advice for the new guys, and older hands that dont know any better. When passing on snowy road that have been salted and sanded. Please allow considerably more room before coming back over to the slow lane.

    My windshield and pocket book both thank you. Might even save my foot from going up your butt at the next truck stop :biggrin_25523:

    Don't fret driver, CSA-2010 will take care of most of the rocket boys, and those it doesn't, the coming E.O.B.R. systems will.

    on a side note, if you have comp on your vehicle's insurance, get a quote to drop your deductible to 50 or 100. It'll be really cheap to do and then your insurance pays everything over. Wont hurt your rates either.

    ...or go fast enough on ice where you end up going backwards and you'll never have to clean that windshield again. :biggrin_25523:

    No kidding, stop driving 10mph below the flow of traffic and I won't have to pass you.:biggrin_25522:


    Also buy a KW with a single piece curved windshield. Last one I bought was $58.88

    That sure takes the crunch out of a paying premiums to cover the cost of a low deductible doesn't it?
