@YoungDriversofCanada WOW! You guys are awesome! I don't think this would have been possible without your over-priced driving classes. There is no such thing as people who are born to drive correct?

@hanksnow82 ..I heard that this guy...says he should not be charged as it was weather related and driving conditions were poor...LMFAO..the only way you'd ever get a rig too break free from traction is ice and too much throttle...sure conditions did the job..the driver did not...He deserves it and more.

@YoungDriversofCanada

And I bet having his hands in the 10-2 position and checking his mirrors before he swerved to the right helped too. It wouldnt have any thing to do with it being a natural reaction to steer away from a massive pile of disintegrating debris coming at him on the left. :P
