Oh dear, here we go again.
You could say the same about cyclist video threads.It's not easy being a 4x4 owning cyclist
It's not easy being a cyclist full stop on here.
I'm surprised the OP didn't post anything negative about cyclists for a bit of balance.

He can't have been doing more than 20mph. I'll bet he gets winter tyres next year!
Quite what I was thinking this morning - got the motorbike gear on (Orpington - City) moved it about 3 feet and my feet we slipping....put it back and took the train instead!

Wow.
I saw a RR Sport do a similar thing in a small private Hospital car park a few years back.
He came barrelling up the icy driveway slope to show off to his passengers - only to skid straight on into a sign/hedged area.
He did admit being a plonker and a bit stupid, so I don't think he was a cyclist.

Also in Orpington this morning, on the A224 Orpington Bypass, there was an RX-8 being winched out of the railings at the side of the road, near the Goddington Lane junction. Straight bit of road, I guess someone was having a little fun....
Somewhat related, but it really is amazing how poor driving standards are sometimes. I've seen countless cars this morning with absolutely no lights on despite it being dull and overcast, several cars with windows still obstructed by snow, and despite the fact that snow is still falling, people tailgating everywhere.

Yes, but if they weren't speeding it doesn't matter. Somewhat related, but it really is amazing how poor driving standards are sometimes.

I forgot, if you can't enforce it with a camera, it's n not a problem.
Is this a British thing? What exact difference does it make what brand of Automobile it is? Any brand of automobile can end up on the sidewalk against a fence if it looses traction in the snow. It can however be argued that if it were winter tire equipped, it would not have ended up in this position if driving within the posted speed limit.
