" Mrs/Ms. Fish, consider yourself lucky to be alive. Next time slow to a crawl on ice-covered roadways. Mr. Maldanato, inexperience on driving in these conditons caused you to miss the curve. Ice and snow is nothing to take lightly while driving. High speeds, and YES this means even 30mph on roadways, and snow and ice don't mix! "
