Sure was too fast for conditions. If someone is hanging outside your vehicle, then zero is an appropriate speed, and anything above that is definitely too fast for conditions. -Dave |

Damn...we're starting to sound like LBVH here...watch out... |

The only way to prepare for a body sliding from another moving vehicle into the path of your vehicle is to simply park your own car, and LEAVE it parked, until you can be sure that such will never happen. That's why I'm not surprised that no charges have been filed against the driver who ran the idiot over. But his friend who was driving the vehicle the idiot was hanging off of? As a minimum, he should have his driver's license revoked, permanantly, and that revocation should apply to all of North America, as well as the rest of the world. He has no business at all operating a motor vehicle, anywhere, EVER. -Dave |

Someone didn't understand the sport. You're supposed to be wearing inline skates or riding a skateboard when you're skitching. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |

In the chicago area, skitching is done when the streets are snow covered, without any wheeled thing under foot. |
