At Kate's school, they have a driveway with a very steep ramp. (More like a little hill, really.) It turns out that clearing this drive off in the winter is optional for some reason.
Once, there was ice in the drainage ditch at the top. I got stuck there. (Front wheel drive) Today, some lady had stopped short of the top of the hill and got stuck. I assume it was bad tires. There was a line of about 8 cars waiting for her to go. (All of us people whose children were late for school.
I was 6 cars back, and 3 guys were trying to push her up the rest of the way. I eventually unbuckled, just as they got some traction and she took off. Then the next lady was stuck.
Our van has a Traction Control System and Anti Lock Brakes. Our old van didn't have TCS. It's nice, we have gotten plenty of use out of it the past 2 days...
