[QUOTE="NHbeast, post: 1602474, member: 28306"] I was almost "that guy" last winter going north to a NH ski resort in a storm. It's probably the same every where, on a freeway, in a storm. The right land gets the most of the travel so the lane has two grooves down to the pavement. That pavement maybe be icy, hard packed, or clear. Of course "slush piles" line the left, right, and center of the right lane. As painted lane lines are not visible the right lane drifts into the left lane especially in left sweepers. Only the brave venture into the land of the left lane in a bad storm. Enter Me stage left. Passing long lines of trucks and cars lined up in the right lane is gratifying but comes at a price. White knuckles. Even in a Raptor with new tires bad things can happen in that left lane. One of those unplowed sections sprayed with slush grabbed my front left tire at speed and pulled. At that point the ****** loosen and you find religion Braking, will end badly Yanking on the wheel, will end badly All you can do is lift and hope for the best It has worked a couple times for me. I've seen some in the median for whom it didn't work. Stay safe... [/QUOTE]
