Need advise. Another winter driving question.

I wasn't aware that a new flavor was added to the jackknife category. We always referred to the condition of the trailer sliding sideways as "Trailer Drifting". How thing change.

 

It starts as a drift and ends up as a jack knife. I'm not going to waste my time on a semantics argument. If I got the terms wrong, it doesn't change the physics. Or the point of my post.

 

I see, I guess anytime you run out of hinge then it could be considered a jackknife.
Really didn't mean to be wasting you're time...Forgive me?

 

Well, I do have over 30 yrs in Canada 'cause that's where I'm from. Hauling everything you can think of over roads that include woods roads with 14-16% grades or steeper. And I ain't gonna tell you how to do it. Figure it out by yourself like I hadda do.

The ultimate answer? Move South like I did. What do I do when it snows here? Ignore it, anything under a foot don't count.

 

WAKE UP LEROY!!!!!!! cuz he aint never seen a wreck like the one you are about to be in!!!!!!!


no, actually do what i did this morn when i hit a patch of ice...let off the accelerator...steer gently, lightly step back into it til trailer comes back in line...
