Yeah. We had one guy here who drove his very heavy 1980/90s SUV out on the ice this year and naturally sunk it through... then he and his wife spent most of the next day whining on Facebook about the fines they received for it. Lol.
Luckily we don't have many drownings. We also have a superb local ambulance corp which regularly trains for that kind of behavior/emergencies.
Lol, instead of whining they should be celebrating a life they still have. I would never drive on random icy lake. The only way I would go is on a official ice roads that open on some cold winters.
lol, we have so many vehicles out on the bays every year. every 3-4 years one of them goes through. usually the ice is good and thick enough that it's never a problem, but it's in cases like these, where someone takes a really heavy vehicle out, or maybe it's someone new/unfamiliar to the area. i gambled once when i was an idiot kid, made it just fine, and that's enough for me.
