Couple stories:
Accidentally got too hammered one January Wednesday night. I had a 2024 chevy traverse z71 (new body style) loaner car at time.
Snoozed my alarm and slept through the emergency alarm, ended up waking up 2 hours later than normal (7:30 instead of 5:30). Got out the door in no joke 5 minutes, then started driving way too fast to work. Going like 55 in a curve rated for 25 (but no speed limit) type deal.
Hit a slick patch, understeered into a snow bank, Traverse drove straight over it. No one saw, car was totally fine. I think I had enough ground clearance that the skid plate was what hit the bank. Backed it out and kept on driving.

One time it was icy and I skidded. Not on purpose.

>>29119570
Second story:
have 2021 dodge charger R/T with bald “sporty” all seasons. First snow of the year was one of those spitting snows, enough to get the ground wet and cold and maybe icy but not actually enough to accumulate.
6am or so, roads seemed fine. Got a little overzealous on the throttle on the on ramp to the freeway, ended up pointed 90 degrees to my left, overcorrected to the right, then spun 450 degrees until i was pointed straight again. All this happened on an empty 4 lane freeway, and somehow I had the wherewithal to steer with throttle and not smash the brakes.

Third story:
2001 ford taurus without ABS, was on an on ramp to get onto a highway. Ford Ecovan in front of me lost control and I just had nowhere to go. Oversteered somehow and slid sideways into him, somehow only fucked up the rear driver door and not any other part of the car.

My gf is from Oregon and I'm from LA. I'd just bought a Genesis and didn't know all the features yet. First time driving it below freezing. Little snowflake icone comes on in dashboard and I loudly said "what the hell is that". Apparently Hyundais show that icon when road conditions are icy. Gf still laughs that the Californian didn't know what a snowflake was.

>>29119908
It's the same alarm chime as "something has malfunctioned in the car", and it comes on just as a temp sensor reading so like everytime it drops below 37f or something like that, so it does it kinda often in the right weather and its unnerving cuz its the same sound as if your engine was having trouble or your tires popped and the car was alerting you

oregon has some wild winter weather

you forgot to turn on your highbeams and IMMEDIATELY amazon in some battery-powered light bars too (that all flicker crazily because you got the shit model and so you aimed them all nearly level so it doesn't illuminate any of the road but blinds everyone around you)

I don't have any bad end horror stories from trucking. Some nasty conditions but always made it through. The worst combination I've had involved the tail end of a blizzard, snowfall ended but wind still blowing snow all over the place. The sun appeared at dawn creating sun glare + blizzard white out conditions at the same time. Could not see two car lengths in front of me and it was BRIGHT. That was easily a multi-car pileup situation if there had been traffic.

Heavy blizzards, bad weather combinations with loose snow over ice, deep snow etc. Those are routine. Scariest is always when visibility drops to nothing especially if it happens suddenly.

I had a job where the work van took me 45 minutes to drive a ten minute route in snow once. My normal route was three hours, I gave up at that point.

I made 3 of like 40 deliveries.

i couldn't get back up the driveway because the snow had turned into black ice so i had to park on the street for the next few days

I was driving and there was a cyclist on the road. IN SNOW! He did not even have fog lights or high beams. He had blinking red lights but I thought it was just someone's house. It was literally impossible to see him. I had to swerve at the last second to miss him. He was lucky I already had my hands on the steering wheel. Or else my life would have been changed forever. Cyclists need to be culled for how easy it is to traumatize drivers permanently.

I always hated encountering squalls. It's terrifying to go from unlimited visibility to then not even being able to see a thing within seconds

I ended up in a snow bank on the side of the road. 3 other people on the same road ended up in the same situation. Always stay in your car until the squall is over so you don't get hit.

Cops were fucking pissed and called both the county road commissioner and the mayor's assistant then threatened to arrest both of them for their dumb fuck ass feud if nobody came out to clear the bridge

When I was a depressed teenager that didn't give a shit about anything I would always go to work for my shit ass night shift job no matter what the roads were like because nothing else was going on my my life. One time I drove to work through a blizzard at 9pm and it was such a complete fucking white out that once I was on the highway I could only tell I was still on the highway because if I veered too far either way I'd hit the rumble strips, had literally nothing else to go by. At first I wasn't even properly in the lanes, I was straddling the middle of the road until I saw an oncoming car almost directly in front of me and realized I was off (that was the only other car I saw that night, they weren't even plowing yet)

I've driven in some stupid conditions before but literally driving by feel in a complete white out at night for about a half hour straight was by far the dumbest thing I've ever done. At least I got to work on time.
