My worst time on the highway would have been back in April of '89 driving about 200 km back to Winnipeg from Wawanesa after a pistol match. Visibility was poor due to a heavy wet snow, there was about a foot of slush on the highway, and I was driving an '84 Parisienne with all-seasons. It took about 6 hours to make what was usually about a 2 hour trip. Saw lots of cars and big trucks in the ditch. I was very glad and lucky to make it home without incident.

Stuck for 4 hours on the I-15 south at 6pm.

Weather, clear and warm.

A dump truck had overturned and dumped rocks/boulders across 3 lanes plus the ditch and median.

If i'd been driving the Jeep Wrangler I'd have gone off road and try the ditch but I was in a Camaro that day so I had to wait it out
