Have you ever wondered why black ice forms, how traction control works or what causes hydroplaning? Let’s take a look at the science behind some common winter driving conditions in order to better understand what leads to dangerous driving situations and help us all prepare to drive more safely this winter.

Carved Roadway: The path of the Million Dollar Highway was carved out of the side of mountains in several locations. The original ‘road’ was little more than a wagon trail but it was built by blasting the side of the mountains to form the road bed.

So tragically, the war which would take an even great many more lives would begin only about twenty years Read More
