It's not the conditions that are the main problem its the h0les who think they are rally drivers and have not the slightest bit of commonsense.
Lastnight driving home on frozen slush(it was -3 degrees) with snow falling on top and anything above 20mph being dangerous morons still drove 5 to 10 yards behind.
This morning warnings on the M62 said skidding possible.One mile later turning onto the slip road there was some idiot who obviously had taken no notice and was facing the wrong way on the slip road,apprently having spun.
These idiots need locking up as typically they will maim some innocent 3rd party and not themselves which is what they deserve.

Correctamundo.

Nice rant, what if the person who spun was just avoiding some other idiot?

I agree about some drivers having no clue how to drive in the snow but I'm sure it's not that bad living in a highly populated flat city like Leeds in the snow but try venturing to the smaller hilly villages were only the A roads have constant traffic, it has nothing to do with your driving style then.

I span out 360 twice last Saturday driving on some minor roads in heavy blizzards in Staffs. I was driving cautiously but when yuo have a rear wheel drive car with low profile tyres and you're on a hill or an adverse camber sometimes there's nothing you can do.

Luckily for me, after i was stopped facing the wrong way, people helped and didn't adopt your holier than thou attitude.

So if you stopped facing the wrong way it was a only a 180 spin?

Away! with your mathmatic heresy!

He was going the wrong way in the first place.

I was reversing down the main carraige-way. Got more traction in reverse. Also, I have one of them fancy reversing cameras with a telly so I didn't need to defrost the windscreen.












OK, ok, it was 180.

Did a 1080 spin with an inverted flip going up a kerb yesterday, beat that.

I travelled the 9 miles to work on my rear end dragging myself along like a dog with worms. The snow and ice was cooling on my sore rectum.

Beat that.

You don't need to explain yourself G1 , I'd like to see Andreww remember the exact angle of his spin whilst reversing up the dual carriage way after 7 pints of stella.

Beat your rectum? no thanks.

Beat your sore rectum?

That'll be £387.50

I've no idea what I'll be doing mind but I'll give it an, errm, bash.

Ive heard of sports being called off due to adverse weather conditions, football and rugby etc, but seriously my ten pin bowling league has just been called off due to snow.
