AS I said, You can analyze it to death, but sometimes there simply is nothing you can do: Last winter I shortened my S10 on a hill with black ice. As soon as I topped the hill I saw four cars off the road with an overturned truck at the bottom. Just for the hell of it I tapped the brakes and there was nothing: So, I knew I was just along for the ride. I rode it out about 500 feet, accelerating all the way and by some miracle had just enough steering to avoid the overturned truck in the road. I hit an ice bank and wiped out the front end just as surely as if I had hit a tree.
I had been talking for about three years about buying a bigger truck to tow my cuddy. I regarded this as simply karma and the impetus to buy a 1500.
BTW: I did have my belts on. I am a firm believer in their use.
