Who shouldn't be allowed to drive when the roads are snowy?

[Poyetry In Motion]

mums in chelsea tractors, white van men, old fogeys in rover cars, cyclists, reps in vauxhall vectras, estate agents who think they're above the highway code

Owls
Good King Wenceslas
Leslie Grantham
and Cher.

owls- exceptional peripheral vision.
GKW - good understanding of snowy conditions/snow depth
Leslie grantham - unlikely to be using his webcam whilst driving
Cher - likely to be under-dressed

I heard a lovely story today from someone who was out on Saturday, when the roads around here were particularly challenging. He was driving along and had a prat in a Nova on his tail, who kept flashing his headlights to try and get him to speed up, although he was driving to the road conditions. Anyway, the prat in the Nova eventually overcame his patience and overtook, then sped off into the distance. About two miles later the person telling the story passed the very same Nova...on its side in a ditch by a very sharp corner...the teller admitted that he was tempted to wind down his window and shout some abuse, but chose to drive on with a smug grin on his face, safe in the knowledge that karma had played its part.

So failing to stop at the scene of an accident? Naughty naughty...

OK, so owls can drive, I'll give you that
GKW, only good when snow is of uniform consistancy and depth, ie , deep and chrisp and even. So sorry pal, back to staring at poor men coming in sight.
LG, Very likely to be arguing with Ange' and thinking of shagging Michelle Tully so far to easily distracted. Back to your laptop Les.
Cher, Lets face it, we all would but I'm f***ed if I'm going to pick her up, so for convenience sake Cherilyn gets to put pedal to the metal.


I think thats sorted.

Any one stupid enough to think crawling at 2mph up a steep hill is a good idea. Put your foot down or don't attempt it, but for gods sake get out the way of those of us who understand you lose traction doing the former. Absolute idiots ironically usually in 4 x 4s on their way to bodens

R M Taylor , managed to puncture a tyre on the ice (the wheel was already bashed) and had to be towed back down the road by our next door neighbour who drives a Transit.

This being the same RM Taylor who wanted to borrow money to replace his previous, written-off car, I take it?

I would agree with this. I had to stop at the bottom of what is normally a slight slope this morning and therefore had to attempt the slope from zero. My poor little 206 only just made it to the top!

As an addition to the list - people that pull out in front of you without warning. What is an annoynce during normal weather is bloody leathal on snow and ice. I had this yesterday morning and it was certainly a good test of my ability to bring a car to a halt (from a lowly 20mph) in the snow!

Just watched my neighbour spend 10 minutes trying to make it out of the drive in an Automatic Mercedes

Yes we know that the performance is better on rear wheel drives, but you are on snow, not a f***ing racing track - so it's rear wheel drive mercedes and BMWs for me

My mate had one of those and we took it out one weekend to Brands hatch and I drove the rally circuit there. It scared the life out of me....I have never driven a car before or since that reacted so powerfully when touching the accelerator....

thanks Marc.

BTW it was sliding about all over the shop yesterday and took 30 minutes to get up our close ( which is 150 yards) after much digging , gritting and ice clearing. My daughters 10 year old cheap Peugoet sailed up the hill with not so much as a skid! How does that work!!

BTW My Chilli Plant has started flowering again and has new leaves!!!!
