The VSP press release said he tried to cross a pressure crack.
Here is a link to the VSP website

Hate to say it, but you gotta be pretty slow to drive a 350 out onto the lake 2 days after the rain we just got. Magog is a huge lake and with the rain and wind there was apt to be bad spots, sometimes you just gotta walk!

That's why I don't drive on any ice at any time.. cool site though for nosey people like me!

Are there any fines when your vehicle goes thru the ice ?

dave bartlett · « **Reply #7 on:** Feb 03, 2013, 10:38 AM »

I think it used to be $50 a day for every day it's in the water.

I know itdepends on the situation. Some guys get stuck with the daunting task of paying for divers, equipment, and environmental fines. Although some guys get off scott free and their insurance pays for it all...

Did you ever watch Mountain Men?Eustace said a so true statement on one show."Don't know about common sense ,it just ain't so common anymore".I use this phrase at least once a week in my house and my wife hates it..LOL

Insurance will usually cover it if the lake is completely frozen, no open water then its considered a state highway and insurance will cover it. Stupid rule

What part of F-350 and pressure crack sounded like a good idea.

Well, life it like a box of choculates, you never know what you are going to get. It could happen to anyone, just not me yet. I am not perfect, and never was.
