In Sweden it gets salted due to the conditions, but we can generally say that it gets salted alot, it is only when it gets really cold that they use less.

Not sure if it is the same in UK anymore but here it gets put out as a liquid and not in the solid grit form, so if you get stuck behind a truck or one drives past the car gets splattered in salt.

I expect that with in the next month it is time for me to re-spray the underside and the cavaties.

It is a mixed feeling with all the salt, it is good as fewer cars need studded winter tyres, so there is less particle pollution and less road damage, but there is far more rust on cars and environmental issues due to the high levels of salt.
