Transportation: Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work....

Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML

Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML

Today, it was snowing. I slipped on the ice and fell in the middle of the road, dislocating my left shoulder and knee. As I was screaming in pain and trying to stand up, two boys on the pavement threw snowballs at me while everyone in the cars just drove around me. FML

Today, I had a bad feeling about walking to work because of the weather. Instead, I drove. My car slid on the ice and I created a four-car pile up. All three of the other people involved have decided to sue me. I should've walked. FML

Today, the roads were OK, so I cleaned the ice and snow off my car so I could go out. I rolled my window down a little bit while I was driving to clear the snow off the base of the window. A chunk of ice flew off my hood, in through the window, and hit my eye. I then hit a snowbank. FML

Slippery

Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML

Today, I had two accidents in my car: one when a truck drove into its rear end, the other immediately after when my own rear end released its load onto the seat. FML

Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML

Treacherous weather

By Dopamin3 - 20/03/2019 06:00

Today, as I was driving to a conference two hours away, a giant piece of ice fell off a truck and did severe damage to my car's hood and busted the front light. The car was a few months old with around 5000 miles on it. FML

Today, I thought I'd wear my snow boots so I wouldn't slip on the ice at work. I crashed my car because I can't feel the pedals with my boots on. FML

Today, as I was crossing the slush covered street to catch the bus, I slipped and fell right in the middle of the road. A woman in a car rolled down her window. She didn't ask if I was okay but just laughed and took a picture of me covered in cold, wet slush. FML

If you had properly learned how to drive on winter roads, you probably wouldn't have crashed. It's common knowledge that you should practice in all weather conditions and learn how to deal with the hazards of each weather condition before getting your license. Also, that salt truck means absolutely nothing. If the roads were bad enough to make you skid, the accumulation on the roads wouldn't have melted for at least an hour or so. The only way to get the roads better would be to use a plow on the front of the salt truck From a fellow (former) Ohioan......YDI and please learn to drive. You're an embarrassment to all Buckeyes.

you weren't driving according to conditions. you rear ended someone. your car was totalled because the front is where all the mechanical components that make it go are kept, the back consists of trunk and bumper. i'm sorry for my lack of sympathy but that's a perfectly normal way for things to play out. the salt truck bit... OK kinda adds insult to injury, but that's about all i can see that you didn't do wrong yourself. By the way, guys hate women drivers because they think that they are better than men because statistically they are in less accidents. NO. Pick a random vehicle with a man and a woman in it, who's driving? The man. Men hate women dirvers because they do shit like this and yet WE have to pay through the nose for insurance. I'm not usually one for sexist/racist stereotyping unless it REALLY OBVIOUSLY confirms itself like this. hate me if you want, fine, be the bigger person and prove me wrong... DRIVE BETTER. everyone wins.

I'm a woman driver. I'm safe in snow, and I never let any of my exes drive my vehicle in it. Why? They found it fun to be reckless. One of them even wrecked a previous car I owned. I'm still pissed at that and that was about three years ago. Hell, my dad is an experienced enough driver, but he texts. A lot. I don't, when I'm on the road. You'll see me behind the wheel more than the man that I'm with, unless I'm with my dad, then he's usually behind the wheel. Not every woman driver is reckless, just like not every male behind the wheel is safe. It really comes down to experience and how risky they want to be. But yeah, it's still a given to be more cautious in snowy weather, no matter if it's man or woman. OP could learn to handle it in a big, empty, parking lot.
