I've never seen so many cars sliding around on the road, and outside of the road, as I did during my winter visits to Akron OH. One bad day we could stand by the office window and try to predict if a car would make the exit, bump into the sidewalk, or slide past it. The odds was about 1/3 for each. The non-use of proper tyres/tires probably explains a lot of this, stupid drivers probably explains the rest. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
