[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675866, member: 11791"] From the time we are little, we learn how to walk on ice, and [I]how to fall[/I]. As soon as I know I'm going down, I crouch down, get close to the ground. Then crash from there - it becomes a slow-speed topple, instead of a fall from standing. I fall on a regular basis. Rarely even get a bruise. But I've been walking on this stuff for... decades. Driving, well... part of it is common sense. You don't drive after a heavy freezing fog, or (rare) ice rain. It's just not an option. But other than that... good winter tires, (no, "all season" tires do not count), a lot less speed, and lots of stopping distance. I took my driver's license exam in this kind of weather. It's just... normal. But try explaining "driving on ice" to somebody who's never seen it or done it... we're not Zamboni drivers. Really.
