Right, little rant
Just driven 140 miles in fairly heavy snow...even after driving past 6 possibly fatal crashes, i still had people overtaking me at probably about 60 !
Why can't people accomodate to conditions, so many people flew past and could then be found in the verge on half a mile on. Not only that they slow my journey too, cos then you have a jam, or the motorway is closed and having to drive through nsl back roads
People sitting on your rear bumper...
Then with only 2 roads left, taxi sat up my arse at the lights. Lights turn, i have no traction (sheet of ice) so have to gradually do it, starts giving me the wanker sign out the window...
Rant over ! Take care on the roads tomorrow if the forecasts are correct and dont be one of the wankers/dead people that were on the road tonight !

Tbh i drive my workvan completely differently than i would if it was mine or a car
1, becuase of the false sense of security
2, becuase i dont have to pay to fix it
3, i dont pay fuel
Women drivers in 4x4's on the school run are the worst imho

done a 250 degree spin tonight shit myself at the time. luckily there was no traffic around.
don't think people expected it to be so deep here. we've got at least 4 inches of it and theres hardly any grit on the roads at all.

I fucking hate stupid people on the roads, even if it's raining heavily i tend to go slower than i normally would, and i still get twats up my arse going stupid speeds, overtaking me, shooting aroudn tight corners at stupid speeds.. However ,i must confess, most the time i want to see them in a wall half a mile down the road..

We have grit but the snow is so heavy it didn't do anything.
I had a good night, spent most of it sideways

I didn't get any videos, I felt it wouldn't be good if they ever made public view and the courtesy car company saw them
I took a snowball to the eye tonight though, and hard Eye is bloodshot and blurry, hopefully be ok in the morning
