Salt; Dangerous as HELL

RichA 4 February 2005 03:24:52
 I took my Mach-1 out the other day. The roads
were dry, no apparent contamination.
I'm going along at a fair clip and shift from
3-4 WITH traction control engaged and my rear
wheels break loose big time!
Salt isn't just a corrosive that destroys cars,
it's a dangerous substance when dry because it
acts like graphite. I wonder if anyone has ever
done any investigations into the liability of dry
salt when it comes to accidents. Traction is radically
lower when it's on the road, even in a thin, thin,
layer.

 Lessee... when you're up on two wheels, a guy tends to take it real easy
until AFTER the springs first real good rainstorm.

S'funny... after the snow is gone, there's usually an abundance of sand and
salt left behind... happens every year. Just like the first good snow of the
year, it doesn't "cause" accidents..... it just separates the wienies from
thinking folk...

 Don't forget about the salt haze either. Take one heavily salted road, the
more/faster traffic the better. Add a nice frigid sunny day so that the road
is dry. Stir in calm winds. Thus observe the salty haze thats in the air over
that highway. Particularly viewable if the sun is low and aimed down the
highway.
I've always thought (but I have no proof) that those suspended salt
particles infiltrate the interior spaces of your vehicles body over time,
particularly areas that don't see the standard road salt/slush/water exposure.
Any body shop techs out there who might know? Do any cars live that long here
(Minnesota) to witness such an effect.
