I had to follow someone doing 35 in a 60 all the way to work. On roads totally devoid of snow or ice
I feel your pain.I had to endure 10mph behind an mx5 for 12 miles on country roads to the train station, a journey which normally takes approx 20 minutes took about an hour... only to get to the station to find the trains were buggered and i had to return home, albeit this time following a vw polo doing 8mph... and i'm in a RWD BMW FFS!!

That Astra is a typical example of someone who really doesn't have clue how to drive in slippery conditions! I've seen so many people rock up to a junction in snow and ice and brake at the usual (in dry, sunny weather) spot, only for the car to continue to slide across the road. If people looked further than the end of bonnet and thought "ooh it was a little slippery when I walked to car, so best I be a little careful", everyone would get on just fine.
