Anxiety in the snow

I blame the holidays. People get weird, and people who don't normally drink, drink. And lots of folks driving on roads they are not familiar with.

 

All I can say is if you don’t get back on the horse you will forever live with the fear. All you can do is your best in controlling your rig and if you feel conditions are to much for you to drive then pull over.

 

I feel safer driving in truck than i do in car. Sounds like the first 2 accidents was not ur fault. Be safe out there. Theres alot of good info on this site of how to drive in slick weather

 

you are lucky, look what almost happened to this poor sap..

Tow truck driver nearly slammed by a swerving vehicle on icy road

it's the job you applied for and got some training on. in all our lives, we live with danger on the road.

you just have to have eyes all over your head.

i had an air line pop off on my trailer, and so i had to pull over to reattach it, and you'd think that stupid 18 wheelers would move over for a brother....but they got so close to me, it's a wonder i survived.

 

For some reason, your post has reminded me of an interesting thing that kept happening to me over several years. No matter what time, no matter the date or the weather. I could not get through downtown Columbus Ohio through the I 71 I 70 merge. Sometimes it was rain caused wreck, sometimes snow. One day it was a drunk. I remember one of the last times this happened. I was westbound on 70 and almost at the merge, thinking oh boy, this time I am going to make it. It was a cold winter day, somehow some ice formed in the lanes ahead of me. I still to this day remember watching the accident start ahead of me.

You speak of having anxiety? I started using the loop around Columbus after that. I think if I could again drive and headed that way there would be some kind of road blockage there. Weird that has happened to me.

 

Some people dont believe in guardian angels but u had one looking out for u

 

Crank the heat up and keep on truckin away.
