Im in Dallas today and it's raining. I took an exit and just as I got into the turn there was some water on the road and I could see it was covered with oil. In half a heartbeat I was sliding sideways in the lane, across the shoulder, and into the grass. When the tires hit the grass I saw the trailer tires lift off the ground in my mirror.
