8) Now that you are in the ditch, DO NOT get out to survey the situation. That would telegraph a sign of weakness. Remember, you have 4x4 and big AT tires and the people you recently passed will be driving by shortly so do not show weakness or panic. You may wonder why you slid into the ditch. Now is a good time to double check that you are in 4x4.
Lol its funny you should post that. Last weekend I'm going out to the farm, already got about 6 inches of snow on the ground and I decide to take the back road (its quicker), in my $300 escort no less. I come cruising over a little hill and Bambi's mom is standing right in the middle of the road, my pos was in no way gonna stop so I swerved out of the way towards the field, snow flying every where, buried past the frame in snow. I was only about a half mile from the farm where dad has his tractors and a 3/4 ton diesel. I didn't even get out of the car to see how deep it was. Try going forward, nope. slam it in reverse, got about 6 inches. Just drove the snot out of it, 5000 rpm in first, slam it in reverse again, 5000 rpm. Start smelling burnt clutch and antifreeze but I didn't weaken and it got out under its own power.
