Mine was interesting getting to the station this morning.

Almost had a Mercedes slide into the back of me too. I had stopped at a roundabout where the road slopes down towards it and was covered in snow and ice. Twit in a Merc behind me was driving as if the road was clear, locked up and slid towards me. Fortunately they slewed sideways and stopped up against the kerb and just missed me!

+1 a merc E class went past me at 80mph on a dual carridgeway this morning, one wheel in that compacted slush that always builds up on the extreme right hand side of the the road...i was just thinking mate, you've got RWD, one day this sort of thing will end in tears...
