My brother (who is a policeman from the south), his first winter in Oregan, hit black ice and wrecked his patrol car, they couldn't pick at him about it because it was the thrid one to wreck for the same reason in 3 weeks.. (Hummmm... wonder if HE got a ticket?)

So, anyway, don't feel bad about that, it happens to even COPS! I refuse to drive in it when I have to get off the boat up north! They send someone with experience to dirve me in that mess..
