MOTORWAY MADNESS

[fazersharp]

Also this must be the first occasion that hundreds of new drivers have driven on snow. A skid-pan lesson could be incorporated leading up to the test. I think they do this in one or some Scandinavian countries.

Could not agree more - skid pan lesson added to the test. A few years ago when my daughter got her first and it snowed I took her to an empty car park and skidded around in the snow to get a bit of a feel for it. She now lives on a brand new build estate up a crappy inappropriate back road for the size of the build the houses are full of first young time buyers who most likely have never driven in snow.

Bugs me at the best of times people travelling too close to me but then they do it on compacted snow -aaahhh. But my trick is to yank on the handbrake around a corner and do a very nice drift around it and to the twat behind it looks like I am out of control and then they hang back  :thumbup
