Winter Driving In The UK
if you wanted to learn how to drive in slippy conditions then then this was the year to learn it. Just before Chirstmas until weeks into the new year, the snow just came and came down on the UK. The demand for car panels and bumpers went through the roof as we just could not keep the car on the road or our distance. It seems that the only vehicles getting form a to be were for by fours and the odd rubber tracked vehicle. Yes if you don’t own a mini digger or excavator you may wish you did own one in this weather, these little rubber tracked units have bben claering garage forecourts and driveways all over the place. The ironic thing is, they are not that expensive to buy and the certain parts are not that expensive either. take rubber tracks for instance. Some of these can be bought for £99 or so, quiet cheap if you have a business tyhat will suffer, becuase people cannnot get to you because of the snow.
Even 4×4 owners were finding it hard in some areas, where as in other areas they were lapping it up, speeding by us on dula carriageways, why we were stuck at 30mph. It will insteresting to know how many cars broke down becuase of cylinder head issues, but as the thaw continues we will soon know.
