I remember that story!  The driver was passing a line of cars in the left lane,
then came up to a road crew (the reason everyone was in the right lane to
begine with) and when he hit the brakes, nothin' happened (ice on d' road), and
he went into a grader or something.  Moron.  Think he wound up hurting his
passenger (wife I think) pretty badly.  Quattro's go better than anything else
on the road, but can't stop any better...
