I recently posted an article about ice in the Charlottesville area and safe driving. After my experience this morning, I need to revise the article. This morning there was a 2 hour school delay because of safe driving concerns. And, there was some snow and ice on the road, particularly in my hilly neighborhood. As I left to take my children to school, I followed the advice of all the experts. I was going slowly and paying careful attention. But suddenly, I noticed that the car was going straight even though i had turned the wheel in the direction of the downhill curve. Gradual application of the brakes did nothing to slow me down. I just slid off the road and then stopped. So the lesson is that when ice is involved, all bets are off. You just have to stay home. Lesson learned!
