That is good common sense advice. Surprising how many people dont know that. I do and I am originally from SA where snow is only a dream. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Snow, Snow I wish ::) ::)
For the 4 wheel drivers amongst us I would recommend going on a skid pan course. I did mine at Thruxton - a days course about £150. You start the day off by spinning the wheels everywhere and getting nowhere but by the end of the day you can control, brake and steer safely. I did mine years ago but still make use of what I learnt.
We never get snow worth talking about in Trogtown :(
I remember the last time, it was 1983
We had some more recently than that - I can recall walking to work in the damn stuff within the last few years :)

Yea but in 83 it was really deep proper snow and the roads in town were full of stuck cars, I had a little mini and was wizzing around past all the old rear wheel drive cars :)
That was the best year I remember for snow
I can remember not being able to get to school in the big freeze back in the sixties! Now that was proper snow!
Ain't nostalgia a wonderful thing! ;) ;D ;D

You'd be surprised how "Common Sense" is not that common these days!Quote:

(This was in a "Forestry environment on a commercial basis) I have also done a skidpan course a few years ago as I used to do 50000 miles a year.
