In my humble opinion, you did not miss anything. I was wondering about the same thing! Lucy tries to explain when later on but the timing did not make sense to me. But then I mean neither did the plot from about Lucy and Alice’s mini vacation from Tangiers onward, so.

This is the biggest plothole in the book, and one that bothered me. The readers who have answered the question came to the same conclusion I did, but it's still sloppy plotting, especially for such an important plot point.

I don't remember exactly what I read, but I believe the impression I got was that she crimped the brake lines the day before the blizzard.
Amy
There is some bungling explanation in one of the "lucy" chapters including chap 10, and possibly 2 before that but she admits to doing something with the brakes. Its not a brilliant novel so some things simply don't make sense

I had the same question - this does not make any sense at all. The explanation that she crimped the line at some point before he drove over makes some sense, but it's pretty weak.
