[QUOTE="Oor, post: 12390050, member: 78455"]Do everything slow and smooth. You really have to be thinking way ahead of the truck. Drive what conditions allow on the straightaways, gradually slow ahead of the curves and tiptoe around. Most days, just going slow and driving wherever you can find traction will do, but there will still be those days where the road can turn into a sheet of ice and it doesn't matter what you do, the wind will just push you off the road, even at a dead stop. A winter spent in the Dakotas and Minnesota will give you the experience needed. If you get the chance, take your personal car out on a frozen lake and practice skids, great fun. Find a local to take you, he'll know where the safe ice is.[/QUOTE]
