Winter Driving Skills Test

Winter Driving Skills Test Results..... Pass! Barely, but pass! Today was day I got my car back.... There nothing like a white knuckle, zero visibility, white- snow storm to make you thankful to be alive! My Middle skipped today to drive to my car. it was not snowing when we set 8am this mornin.. Five minutes outside of Gaylord was a blizzard. My stomach still tied in knots.... After 2 hours of driving to my car, 45 minutes of confusion and hassle to leave with it, it took 5 minutes for have a near-death experience and nearly wreck my car. ... Believe or not, as slush pulled of control, weaving back and forth between cars and nearly hitting semi that had sucked into him when he passed, I could think about was... I JUST got my fucking car back!! Are you kidding ???? Somehow I managed keep my calm, using my wipers twice clear slush from my window so I could see where I was spinning out of control , and managed finally roll a stop other side of the road. Thank you God! I had get going and merge into traffic before I caused an accident and let my know I was ok, I'd been driving right behind him. Gingerly, I worked myself into traffic and used hands . " My God Mom!! Are you ok??? I could see was you swerving!!" He was scared, I knew he would be. " ok, a good driver. I pulled myself of swerve and fine. quite a ways behind you now, but it's ok." "I slowed way down, I could see was you swerving by that semi." "'s ok, ok." I waited until I was off phone with him until I had my actual break down. It's really a miracle I didn't wreck my car.... That semi driver had have known that he was creating a vacuum as he passed vehicles, pulling them over in slush. There was an angel my shoulder today. I spent remainder of my drive home near tears. Between stress of my car, and finding yesterday that ex in law had passed away, kind of giving the term 'emotional wreck' a good name. Ugh.... |

I had a much better day today.... But, you know, I kind of miss getting hugs. Nobody hugs anymore, or does empathetic arm touches or pats on the back because of COVID. Sometimes you just need to feel that good energy from others.

Thank God you managed to control the car and evade a much worse scenario.

totally commiserate  although here in this region i've only had one white knuckle day so far this "winter"  and that was more due to less than good tires and a rusted suspension frame but good note my tire guys have a guy that says he can economically repair the frame sorry about your in-law, nice to have your car back i bet

I’m very glad you were alert and able to handle that scary event. I think everyone who reads your blog wants to give you a hug and say “this too shall pass”. Loss in any form is never easy to take. But thankfully you have an amazing support system in those offspring of yours. Be glad of that and know you make your former mother in law proud every day by raising such darn good human beings. What better legacy is there than that?

Similar happened here today. I watched a speeder (I was maybe 5 mph fast and he flew past me) in a pickup forget that bridges ice up quickly. He performed a lovely, but completely out of control pirouette, a few hundred yards ahead of me. He didn't hit anything, but only because there wasn't anyone to hit. I flipped him off as I passed.

Wow, that's the kind of excitement NOBODY needs! I'm glad you're ok, and I hope things are uneventful for the rest of the winter! My condolences on your former MIL. (hug)

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
