    Heading into Winter on Pennsylvania I-80 soon.

    I bet we see at least 50 trucks in the middle...or worse...off the cliff this year.

    No matter how long I do this I am always amazed at the amount of crashes on 80!

    Driving in snow is quite simple really....slow down...stay in higher gear...keep rpm’s low...avoid braking as much as possible
    Now if everyone else would consider grasping this concept life would be good
    Yup don’t hold your breath

    But..............that's inclement weather and I was just reading on here you should not drive in inclement weather because it's quite dangerous and could most likely be the end of your career, quite possibly the end of the world. It's best to just stay home or in the truck stop and watch Colombo or The Rockford Files until the sun comes out and the roads are dry.
     
    ‘Olhand Thanks this.

    You can be the most experienced and safest driver on the road with years of accident free driving.

    BUT, you can't control the other driver's out there who do STUPID stuff and run into you.
