Do you see any damage on the pkg car?

I honestly don't but I can't tell if the portion of the left side of the package car that is meeting the ground has any damage or not.

There is something a little weird about the 2 o'clock portion of that rear wheel well but if that is damage, I don't think it has anything to do with this incident.

I think that may be wet from the driving spinning his tires trying to get out.

 

[Re-Raise]

Did he try putting one of those traction strips they gave us under the left wheels?

Your BA wears a suit?

So far I've only seen him in jeans or khakis.

Drivers would make less bad decisions if they weren't second guessed for making good ones.

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? I don't see any damage. To me it looks like he just needs to pulled back on to the "road".

To me, where the truck meets the edge of the road, that bottom skirt looks bent. Not enough damage to fix though. As for the wet behind the wheel well, by the location of the exhaust pipe, the truck has a gas engine in it and the wet is spilled gas down the side.

Was the driver attempting to back up this driveway or in a forward gear I wonder?

To me, it looks like it is damaged enough that it would interfere with fully opening the driver's side door to a latched position.

He may have Zigged when he should have Zagged

 

[oldngray]

Maybe ORION told him to turn left.

The bottom edge of the body panel is totally folded in over the road edge.The driver's door isn't going to open either because to door pocket is smashed in as well. You guys don't see things the way I do.

It'll buff out.

I agree. Guys use neutral and enough brake to inch down. Too much torque otherwise. It pulls you to the side. Takes away your steering. Makes it slide

This is when the hand brake works best....rolling bakward down an icy hill. It'll lock the back brakes instead of the front and allow you to maintain steering

I've used neutral to back down a road that I tried to go up on and started sliding, worked well scared the crap out of myself but worked

I don't know if you know. But, the e -brake goes around the drive shaft.
It will lock up you rear wheels. Then make you slide. Neutral will keep your wheels free. Foot brake will maintain a controllable speed. Unless it is a steep grade. From the picture. They wouldn't see me till the road is clear

Yea my point exactly. Locked front tires lose the ability to turn. Locked rear tires allow you to slide while still turning and you can still use as much front brake as needed. This of course applying when going backwards down a hill.

I think he had a on car with him constantly screaming in his ear to check his mirrors and took his eyes off the road too long.
