BLACK ICE
ꒌ НИКШИЋАНИ, ОПРЕЗ! Кад сте на Дурмитору, нисте више у Никшићу...
На коловозу са снегом и поледицом, и најскупљи блистави ђогаз од >€100к по возним особинама постаје једнак некој крнтији на точковима. Само штета која вреба није иста.
► █░▓ An Off-Road Try By An On-Road Car - This beefy BMW ended up with a few minor bruises only inches away from the lamppost. His brave climb of the accumulated roadside snow finished the illusion for the owner that his car can-do everything. Just a bit of black ice cancels out all the differences between the cars and makes your shiny status symbol equal to a wreck on wheels. With the push of winter tires in recent years people tend to use the chains much less than before. But a wreck with worn-out summer tires wrapped in old-fashioned chains, is – on black ice – a clear winner over your 4-wheel shiny stallion with new winter tires and no chains.
-Early night hours at 1400 m elevation, the most slippery night so far here. I still have bruises from numerous falls when hiking that night. The following morning a 33-year old woman, mother of 2, lost her life under a WSV-tractor, right in the downtown's middle point. An inexplicably gruesome tragedy for this small town.
