the snow...

has anyone unfortunally kerbed wheels or worse in the snow?

my drive is covered in ice so easy when reversing in as it doesn't stop when you brake.

Dizzy. If it snows again get some sand and place it over the snow/ice. I myself had a slippery drive

Worked for me ;D

next time it snows just carry a bucket and go looking round the trading estates for grit salt. They normally have those yellow containers at the side of the road so that a big bastard lorry doesn't start sliding around.

Take a few loads and use it to sprinkle on your drive.

Sorry to be morbid but a friend of mine died three days ago in his car on ice. Apparently no seatbelt, but whether or not he's left a wife and three kids one of which is 2 weeks old.

Please be careful out there guys and girls the wreckage after someone dying is vast and devastating.

Is it just me, or is the worst thing about the snow other drivers (especially those behind you with sh*t cars) not keeping back?  I was driving down a big hill in a traffic jam last week and some girl in a fiesta only managed to stop about 1cm from my rear bumper.  I don't know what I would have done if she'd bumped me.  (I was watching fearfully in my rear-view as I saw her slippin-and-a-sliding towards me!).

Rich.

P.S. Sorry to hear about those who were not so lucky as me in the snow.
