[nfb-talk] Tragedy in Denver

[d m gina]

Mike,
No one is doubting that.
I'm sure as well as I have, been in a car where the back end of the car 
would start to slide.
For me that is a scary feeling.
I feel sorry for the driver.
I understand with listening to folks who drive have said when you 
slide, you go with the slide.
Don't try to fight it.
Maybe the lady didn't know that at the time.
Being a first time driver.
I'm finding it harder for me to want to get into a car no matter what 
it is, when it is snowing.
I just get out when I need to do so.
I realize that accidents happen any time of year, but winter is harder.
