[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1238212, member: 14668"] So its 8:15 at night and I head up a customers driveway that is about 200 yards long and uphill. I have to drive up there because there is no shoulder to park on and the bottom of the driveway is out of sight of the house. Halfway up I hit black ice and start losing traction. I stay in control, and by putting one wheel on the gravel shoulder of the driveway I am able to keep going until I get up to the house....only to find a car parked in the only available spot to turn around. The owner comes out to get his package, and I politely ask him to move the car so that I can turn around. His reponse; "thats my moms car and she is asleep, I dont want to wake her up." I explain that the driveway is icy and that I will be backing down in the dark and onto a road with a blind corner. His response; "I'm sorry, but my mom is asleep and I'm not going to wake her up". He then takes his package and turns to head back in his house. I say.."well sir, wish me luck backing down, lets hope I dont get hit by a car down on the road or get stuck and block your driveway." His response; "Good luck". :censored:. [/QUOTE]
