The end result of an icy corner....

Not even speeding, back end came out, front also slid, tried to control the slide, car went the other way, completely sideways, again tried to control it and was stopped by a couple of gates and a hedge

is this jambo's old one?

how fast were you going? all good and well saying not speeding but 59 in a 60 would still be too fast for the conditions.
