To be fair my 3 peak rated all terrains weren't worth a toss, when some dickhead in an Amazon van decided to pull out on a frosty back road

Years ago while ploughing one of the main roads on my route, I had ploughed and gritted in one direction up to the turn around and was ploughing and gritting back the other way, so to the traffic coming up behind the road looked OK. A sprinter parcel van, 2 or 3 cars back decided not to stay behind the gritter and overtook. The 6" of snow almost caught him out as he pulled in, in font of me but they managed to catch it and then sped off, the next corner he was in the hedge :rolleyes: We ploughed past and the small convoy of cars behind carried on trundling along :D

It's just a sea of bad drivers.
It is honestly astonishing how many people decide to go out knowing full well they arnt capable of driving in the snow.
Following cars this morning and brake lights constantly flashing up when there is absolutely no reason what some ever to brake dolled by the little wiggle as they loose control
