Cold weather and ice doesn't take brains to realise you need to drive a bit slower, brake a bit earlier and not boot it mid corner yet people still manage to crash like it's the in thing to do Seen a 350z wrapped around a lamp post recently, BMW down a ditch etc. Not surprised.

Mine's fine so long as you don't provoke her, had a couple of little twitches but so long as you don't hammer the throttle when the wheels are turned it's fine.

Too many digital drivers. Throttle's either full on or full off.

too many people think "oh traction control, oh abs, oh stability control, i'll take this 30mph bend at 120mph and it'll be fine" but forget the only thing that keeps you on the road are your tyres.

i lost my VTS month or 2 back when it just started to get icy one night...was going 20mph in 3rd gear and lost it (was down a twist down a hill though) got a feeling it may have been someone washing their taxi's anyways...completely lost control heading head on into a van...then slide the other way and JUST missed him and the kerb was entertaining with the missus in tow
