Bemuses me how shit the standard of driving seems to be on UK roads, every cunt seems to be in a rush, tailgating everyone else regardless of road conditions. The very basic laws of physics say that a car driving at 30mph on ice isn't going to stop in the same distance if it were bone dry and sunny. Utter pricks. Usually pricks in works vans and stuff that are the worst.

I'm currently sat waiting to be recovered by the AA in my works van... Some nutter was flying up a single track road and twatted me into the banking. Both my front wheels are pointing outwards so I can't risk driving it. I'm fucking pissed off.

Ive stopped driving the new for two reasons, one being ive just bought my Fiesta two weeks ago and the other, all i see is people loosing control and bumping into eachother. I can drive on the snow no problem but its some of the idiots around me that are the problem.

yes, it took me 10 hours to get from croydon to swindon last night!

7 hours to do 7 miles onto the m25, then the m25 was cunted from the 23 to j9 that took another 1h45m to clear. then after j9 it was clear, so the van was flat out all the way back. rolled in at mignight.

NOT impressed!

there are some total fucktards that royally fuck thing up for everyone else. why these cretins try to drive in the snow and ice with the ability of a dead cat i will never know.

also the fucking busses, there were a fuck load of them, all stuck.... with about 1 person on board each....

CUNTS!

i wondered if dave had been out in his new Ka, as i seen one backwards against a bollard, with the n/s/r wheel bent under it lol

I have been on the Metro for the same reason. On Wednesday night when it first started here, I was driving fine in the 120d, but on the main roundabout people were all over the place. Some were entering the roundabout from a relatively clear road and not giving any allowance for people entering off the less used entries. As a result they were banging on the brakes and then, supprise supprise, losing control. As I waited in the queue to join there must have been about four near misses, before it was my turn to enter.

At that point I thought I'll leave it at home tomorow.

This afternnon I've replaced a severly bent suspenion arm on the rear of my pals mondeo that he skidded on ice and then spun into a kerb.

1 arm is slightly bent, the worst is replaced, that will have to do as he's skint, funny thing is as we waited for the part to arrive atthe suppliers we played gran tourismo, he kept beating my times, so I said at last I haven't crashed my real cars

What I hate most in this weather is when lorry driver think it's still OK to do 56 mph on a closed snow surface or in deep snow/water/mud... Absolute lunatics, the lot of them...

Havent had too much snow here near Watford, but still someone managed to crash in to my girlfriends fiesta whilst we slept. Mind you at least the guy had the courtesy to knock and give his insurance details.
Not too much damage but what a pain in the arse!

You can thank all this shit driving and snow when all our insurance premiums go up at next renewal time, insurance companies must be rammed with claims yet again.
