black salt, wtf they use that for?

[dave]

why they putting black salt all over our roads, i know it be cheaper than the orange they normally use but, after a few miles you have tinted headlights so cant see, washer bottle needs filling a few time in one journey, and everyone has a black car.
not only that but its making the roads very greasy, may as well just leave the ice








have you noticed that they are now gritting our roads with the cheapest salt they can get, its a black salt not the orange that they have used in the past, it can make your lights so dirty its like not having them on, in a very short time, also it may get rid of ice, but is leaving roads more slippery than ice at the same time.
fed up with it? want the cleaner salt back?
write to your local mp and the minister of transport, and anyone else you can think of and complain

may as well just leave the ice

yeah, its quite good for sliding around corners

i think that as long as roads are used enough, it doesnt matter that much if they dont grit the roads ,

I thought my car was getting dirtier quicker than usual......

the dirty cost cutting bas***ds!.

And yes the roads are greasier than usual to. Drove my dads Audi A6 today and it fancied drifting around round abouts.

 

[Munkul]

my car is filthy again, plus need new wiper blades, cos on the way back from glasgow the washer fluid ran out

never been so acutely aware that winter motoring sucks...

needs to be quattro and then it wont drift (that well), have you seen the advert where it goes up the ski slope (with a rope attached) :idea:

i found a really wide open and long icy corner the other day

 

[Munkul]

needs to be quattro and then it wont drift

look on youtube, theres an AWESOME vid of a quattro drifting a roundabout superbly

 

[Munkul]

[JFL]

would take it longer to lose grip, but once its lost grip you could keep it drifting for a while

 

[dave]

leaving your car dirty wont harm it

get yourself a new battery, and then you can start your car easily
