1 was my own careless driving. thrusday 2 weeks ago. it was snowing pretty good here, we got about 6 inchs. was heading to work in chicago and was going a little fast for conditons. was barely snowing then got to a open area and the wind picked up hard and was blowing snow all over. noticed a semi up ahead and didnt realize it was going 40 and i was doing 72 or so. came up on it REALLY fast and didnt have time to stop. had to go into the ditch at about 68 to avoid ramming the ass of the semi. got stuck but no damage.
Then sunday I was heading to a site for work and was heading up a off ramp. As soon as i started the turn up the ramp the rear hit some black ice. another car hit the same thing before me (didnt see it happen) but there was a car sitting on the shoulder, guessing for the people that were in the ditch. I went right behind the parked car at about 60 mph, missed it by about 2 feet. went flying into the ditch but was able to drive myself out. The roads were bone dry, nothing on the road. guess thats why they call it black ice!
