[flatline]

I had exactly this scenario happen years ago. I was driving to a four-way stoplight and the light was snowed over (only in my direction, as it turns out). The cars on the side road were stopped. I slowed to a near-stop and was trying to figure out what to do - some people coming from the opposite direction were going. Sure enough, the side traffic started entering the intersection and I tried to come to a complete stop and (in slow-motion) slid on ice into a car at about 5 MPH, who did not even bother to look to the sides, presumably because his light was perfectly clear.
