Anyone out and about on the A31, M27, M3?

My wife is insisting on driving to work this morning and I want to see if I can get first hand info on the driving conditions.

TIA

Just been out on the local roads, it's ok. Biggest issue is the idiots who can't adjust to the conditions. Helmets....

That was exactly what I was worried about. Drove to Switzerland December January and everyone is so well behaved that even though there is loads of snow and ice, hardly a bloody accident. There are some total numpties behind the wheel in this country.

South Coast retard watch;
On the A3(M) last night, Range Rover who sat on my tail and flashed me because I didn't return to the left lane fast enough for him. I was doing the national speed limit, the conditions were not great and I did a well signalled manoevre. I can't help that you were doing 90 and late for whatever you were late for! wker.
On the A3 southbound this morning, silver Audi A3 floored it in the slush to get past me. I was doing 50, he accelerated up to about 75-80. Utter numpty.

Worst thing about driving in snow? The idiots who sit on your bumper or remove your safety distance
