did this morning :blink:
06.00 this morning black ice along A69, never experienced it before - traveling West ended up sliding along A69 in the middle of the road with the car 45 degrees to the direction I was traveling in. luckily controlled it by lifting off the gas and steering into it and when finally managed to straighten the car at 40mph, popped her into 4WD - which gave another little shimmy, then eased back onto my side of the road. During this "bricking it" occurrence, noticed 3 vehicles smashed up on the other side of the road and debris.
was just so lucky I hadn't been a minute earlier or that there was anything coming during my slide.
just discovered that an hour later there was another smash at the same location ... a chap in a Jimny killed

I drive like I am on a motorbike when it's black ice. Nasty stuff. Trouble is just cos it's a fourbie does not particularly make it better on ice. Best 4x4 I have ever used in really dire weather conditions (meaning ice and snow) is my Pajero. None of the others were a patch on it.
