My husband and I have both had a serious accident in the last 6 weeks. His on D and mine on DD. Both of us are cautious drivers . We weren't speeding, under the influence, illegally passing, we weren't trying to avoid an animal or another car, and we're both 40 years old with plenty of driving experience. Is all it... takes is a little patch of ice or slushy roads to get your car sliding out of control. There is no where to go! If you don't get it under control, chances are you're going off the road. In most cases you will roll, as I did, off a steep hill. My daughter, my husband, and I feel very lucky to be here. Something must be done! Shoulders and guard rails need to be in place to save lives!
