AJI Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 In England we have snow every year.... so it should be a good assumption that when it does fall then we know that there is not a large amount of grip between tyre and road. Last night I was held up in a long traffic queue because not one but three separate muppets could not drive in 1cm of snow that covered the road. One muppet in the barrier, another decided he would drive into the back of another car, and the final one decided she would drive into the back of an HGV. I even saw two other people skid and loose control but actually managed to avoid hitting things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Most people seem to fall into 2 catagories. 1) - Don't change for snow - Still hoon around at 100% 2) - Believe it's an ice rink and drive at 2mph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Most people seem to fall into 2 catagories. 1) - Don't change for snow - Still hoon around at 100% 2) - Believe it's an ice rink and drive at 2mph.... and then these two groups tend to collide with each other and block the road for everyone else!

RiceRocket Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 These driving conditions are not accounted for in the driving test (nor the theory either), so unless drivers have had advanced driving/skidpan lessons then they're always gonna drive at crawling(super-cautious) speed.
