","text":"More or less.\nCorrect action is already be parked.\n\nBut if you do find yourself out there, allow the truck to slow on its own if possible.\nPay attention to trucks behind you, a tailgater can get you both killed in a case like this, you can try warning him off with your hazards.\nIf truck isn't slowing on its own, lightly apply brakes, keep close eye on trailer.\nDo not ride the brakes.\nIf you see a dry patch on the icy road, use it to brake a little harder, come off the brakes afterwards.\nSkid, rule of thumb... steer into it. Don't always work, but its better than nothing (when it don't work, it's usually due to over-steering. (this doest say all  the time for the a$$ h°les among us)).\nLastly, whenever all else fails, if you can, ride it out. Chances of living greatly increased, and it's always easier to pull you back on the road than to stand you up.","replyToPid":354812}

","text":"Not disagreeing with you.\nThe user manual was written by someone who more than likely never drove a truck.\nAnd if they did, it was under ideal conditions.","replyToPid":355560}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Problem 1...its a Volvo, with someone who wrote the user manual who's never been behind the wheel of a big truck.\nyou most certainly can use your engine brake regardless of the weather conditions, again that's why they have three speeds.","replyToPid":0}
