The problem with this weather is that some people just can't cope with it. Why do people think that 1st gear at the bottom of a snowy road going uphill is an option? Beats me.
The M8, M9 and A90 were covered with ice at certain stretches yet muppets still seem to think that excessive speed is an option. Right enough, further on, cars in ditches.
I have total confidence in my ability to handle the snow. We have 14" of snow at my house. I have cleared the paths, kept me car sorted and only missed work once when the trains didn't come (worked from home). My continual fear though is that it will be one of the aforementioned muppets who ruins it all by crashing into my car.
I also laugh long and hard at fools who drive away with 2" of snow on their rear windscreen. Why would you do that. There are also those who leave the snow over their headlights and then switch them on. Why??
