Yes it does.

I was reacting to another post about hoodies and a members reaction to it. THe black ice thing is funny but someone will find it degrading and offensive but it's funny----- if your not sliding your car or truck towards a big pine tree or a 20 ft. deep gully. ( don't ask me how I know this)

Lew,
I've been selling insurance for over 39 years. Black ice causes...

I ride here in Ohio until the local safetycrats put salt on the roads. That stuff is just plain nasty and cleaning it off my bikes is a lot of work.

I put my bike in hibernation before they put salt/brine on the roads. Then I go into an other winter sport, and then back to riding the spyder in the spring.

Okay, I'll bite. I think you could have found an image in your collection that was funny and on point without the insensitive inference to 'black lives matter', which is purely political and you know it.

Why would I want to do THAT?
Black ice DOES matter!

You're being disingenuous and you know it.

The term "black ice" as many of us have mentioned it, is talking about ice that is on the road and cannot be seen until it is to late. It blends into the asphalt. Under proper lighting, the road will take on a shine.

Very common in states where they use little to no salt or gravel. A motorists nightmare.
