LoKy reminded me that we used to fly around the suburban streets of the Northland area on the back of cars when it snowed in the mid-1960s. We would lean left and lean right and the drivers would be struggling to control their cars, we thought it was hilarious.
We were racing around the block with a stopwatch. The trip required you to catch at least two rides. We made a really good time. A friend set out to beat us but had not made it ten minutes later when we heard the sirens.
We had never seen a snow plough before, neither had he. He had cheated and hitched a ride on the back of another friend's older brother's car. Apparently, he hit the dry patch at about fifty miles an hour. He broke both arms and a leg, if I remember correctly, and spent a few weeks in the hospital.
