Had the scariest time in a car ever on the way home Decided to pass Epsom Downs down the back roads to see how bad the snow was up there.
Firstly some Twat going up hill decides to drive at almost stand still causing me to loose momentum as I was catching him up. So I had to slow down and me Skoda started wheel spinning and aiming towards kurbs. Had to try get the power down or I would of slid down the hill backwards with a car catching me up! Luckly got up safe!
Next I went up a road with a small hill. Got up the hill fine, but down the other side I lightly used the brakes and I started sliding. ABS kicked in and the car just rolled. I pulled the handbrake, but didn't help much I aimed for the kurb just incase (Rather hit a kurb straight on than hit a wall or something) Luckly I had 10meters or so as it flats out before going onto a main road and the car stopped!
Scary shit
