That could have been far worse. You were wise to not try to get up while on the ice. The streets probably would have been equally as unforgiving. Glad you weren’t injured.

Well - yesterday, I slipped on about 1/16" of ice. Most thankfully, a bush broke my fall. I ended up with a few nasty marks on my face, but it could have been much worse.
By the time I realized anything, it was LONG over.....

Was this before or after shampoo...asking for clarity. Don't get me wrong, 1mm of ice is enough to take anyone out.
Hope you didn't hit the noggin too hard... And if there are no scars, it wasn't a crash. Don't count.

Thanks! It wasn't much better this morning but I was a bit wiser than yesterday, got the car unplugged, safely got into the car. Driving wasn't bad but for the other drivers who wouldn't go faster than 18 MPH if they simply saw something white-ish on the road. Had reasonable traction in my driveway and on the subdivision streets which were solid ice.
Crazy to be driving a new car with only 700 miles on it in these conditions but it is the best vehicle I have for the task.
My PT therapist said she had only 3 appointments today. And the other 4 therapists didn't show at all.
If you didn't have an electric car, you wouldn't have had to make an extra trip on the ice just to fall. Another reason not to have an EV. Glad you weren't hurt too bad. Let this be a lesson to you.

You didn't notice the pure ICE F-150 is plugged in also too?

I did not. I guess you would've fallen on your ass either way..

I learned from my falll.
Conditions were not any better the next day, possibly worse because there was a little melt on top of the ice. Water on the ice. Baby steps. Unplugged the Y, put the cable away. Returned and got in successfully. Returned home, got out, plugged in, safe!

No need to change tires for just one day per year. Nate can just be smarter next year and not ride that one day.
