During the winter, I once lost control of my car as I was attempting to brake at a stop sign. My car ended up “stuck” in a plume of snow a couple meters away from the pole. No accident luckily.
I kept turning my steering wheel with my foot on the pedal to try and accelerate my way out but nothing worked. Suddenly, an old guy pulled up behind me in this massive truck and came to the window to ask if I needed help.
I explained to him that I tried everything and that we likely need to call a tow truck company (or use his truck even) to pull my car out.
He then responded, “Did you try reversing your car?”
Started hoping I did get into an accident at that point just to spare myself the embarrassment!
