Interstate highways (limit 112kph or 70mph) shant be driven down backwards and sideways

I was going 128kph or 80mph and slowed down to go around someone else who had done the same (I went in around) 80kph or 50mph

(mind you there were 40mph crosswinds)

mind you this was last February Roll Eyes

no one was injured SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES

Lesson learned, front wheel drive aquired

1995 GMC Sonoma now scrap

What do I do you ask? I struggle! Then destroy! Then try to put back together what I just broke on accident.....&&&&&&&&&& The GMax effect The GMax effect

Matt... most SUVs in the US dont have 4x4... they only look like they have it

Most of the people that lose control around here have four wheel drive, and used it.

they think they can drive in a more hazardous condition (faster) so they are more likely to lose control

my Sonoma had four wheel drive, but i wasnt using it, it doesnt really add any more traction in highway conditions

So often the case and not just with 4X4. We sit in the warm, surrounded by a strong metal box, helped out by 4X4, traction control, ABS, airbags etc.............we are so bullet proof until it all goes wrong, and we are actually a soft bit of lead and not full metal jacket. I see it every week on the Autobahn in the winter on the way to work.
I have even been overtaken by a 40 tonner in 4 inches of snow. I was doing about 30mph and that was too fast. Still I had the last laugh, the next corner he had jack knifed and was in the ditch. He was stood by his truck trying to flag down very unsympathetic car drivers.
