it wont hinder another driver if it blows off my roof, etc.

What if it did though? It could easily blow off with high winds. Always think of the worst case senario!

It was snowing quite heavily here for most of yesterday afternoon but it hasn't settled at all. I've not been out since Tuesday so there may be 10ft of snow just around the corner from my flat Smiley

I think we've got the wrong attitude to driving in snow anyway, as a country we're never prepared for it, our cars aren't designed for it and very few of us are actually used to driving in snow. My company's attitude to us getting to work in adverse conditions is bizarre, especially considering the fact we can easily work from home. I'm in the fortunate(?) position that although my commute to work is 40 miles, I live on a main road and drive down the M40. Even then it only takes one prick who thinks that his name is Petter Solberg to smash into you.

Can't see that being right. There are about 3 million cars up here with at least a foot of snow on the roof. Sure they have better things to do.


I take that back. One of our consultants has just been stopped and given 3 points. We've all been instructed not to drive with snow on the roof.

Fucking cuntish snow, driving at snalls pace round a corner and i still skidded into a kerb. The steering wheel is vibrating like a rampant rabbit, guessing it's the wheel balance/allignment so that's gonna cost me.

Loads of snow here in Austria (as you might expect) I only got my snow tyres put on today and they are fantastic. I had an appointment in Folkestone with kwik fit to have winter wheels put on before i caught the eurotunnel train but my sat nav took me to this out of the way hickville village with single track roads and steep hills and I got stuck in the snow. 2 hours later I was lucky enough to have a tractor pass by and he was willing to give me a tow. I caught my train with 10 mins to go. Snowed in on the way to get snow tyres, what a bastard Smiley
