WTF is wrong with people

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Done a 35-40 mile round trip this morning in all the snow etc.

Some real dickheads out there, and then the dicks who shouldn't be on the road.

I mean FFS how hard is it to remove snow from your car so you can ****ing see, and how hard is it to put your feckng headlights on.

Just like fog, thick snow is, and it dosen't help when everywhere is white, and your driving a moving snowball because you couldn't be ****ed to remove some of the snow.

Then you get the :tosser: driving down the middle of the road so your car gets covered in Snow. Both dangerous and bloody pointless. ****.



FFS. *RANT OVER*

There was an 06 Plate Clio, all done up, dumped at the side of a roundabout this morning. The front wheels were pointing in opposite directions

if we get more than about 1mm of snow evrything goes to pot last february we had about 2 inches i watched a 911 spin out 3 time because he had his tyre pressures to high and a lead foot, and on the same day in the evening had an imprezza spin out into a lamp post about 6foot frome me and he completely mashed his front end.

Manditory lessons on a skid pan might be an idea

The British are **** at coping with snow, slightest bit of snow and the airports are closed.

I've never driven in snow before, looking forward to it.

It's worth reading up anti-slide techniques so you don't go and make yourself a new roadside ornament

[whiterose]

No snow here, just rain! Ive never driven in snow but i use to ride my bike in it, not very safe!

 

[NumanR]

We had three inches here, strange really, went for a walk with the dogs and took photos of fields when snow started falling, two hours later and driving home in three inches of the blooming stuff.

When Mrs WB passed her driving test I took her out early the first morning we had snow to the biggest car park I knew of and spent a couple of hours showing her how snow isn't the work of the devil. :devil:

By the end of it she was confident that she could be at least safe in the snow, even if not too experienced. However what's wrong with the British driving public is they learn crisis driving as it happens to them and that's far too late. I agree with you completely 5abr3, there should be some form of extreme driving situations built into the learning requirement.

I would add though that tyres nowadays are so wide they don't help driving in the snow. As some of here will know a narrow section tyre (and I mean narrow) is far more effective in snow than wide section tyres. I worked in a garage which specialised in competition tyres as well as day-to-day tyres and the ones we fitted to rally spec SAAB 96's were like McVitie's digestive biscuits they were that narrow.

When I had my Panda's I always had a pair of snow tyres on spare rims with cough,cough(ice studs on the inside treads) sitting ready for winter - those little cars never got stuck!

Cool sounds MEP by the way.

Not at £300 a pop. I had to deal with ****ty customers for about 180 hours to buy that! And then the first night at work after I brough it, and I capture this



Still, even if it saves my £400 excess once, It will have paid for itself!

At this rate it will earn itself in comedy value
