Snow doesnt Kill Mileage...

Idiots who cant drive in it do!

Spent 1.5hrs this morning to do 25 miles getting to work. Took the backroad as the motorway was shut/jammed

The number of folk driving idiotically included

People tailgating the car in front, on packed snow- no hope of stopping.

Failing to use gears to slow the car- braking at the last minute and sliding

braking round corners, causing slides

Doing 20mph on relatively clear, straight roads (good traction/little no snow)

It always scares me how much Britiain falls apart at the first sight of Snow- Several EU/Scandanavian countries can run in snow, no problems.

Gah!
