They should just put "dont know" on the weather site, saves telling everyone lies

Snow renders the Merc-Vito at work pretty much useless. Slight incline on a snow-ridden road and the fucking thing goes haywire. All that stupid ESP ASR bollox stops it from getting anywhere. Wish there was a button to switch the throttle into 'human-controlled' mode... - Might be able to get it up hills then without jerking all over the place.

200 quid orion - goes anywhere in moderate snow
15,000 quid Merc Vito - keeps getting itself stuck
