another thing i think should be introduced is a session on a skid pan so people can learn what its like and possibly some of the things to do.

get the right surface (think last weeks weather :wink: ) and you can make a pretty tidy job out of it in an underpowered 20yr old 4x4 :twisted:

Given that there was one slightly injured young man were there
'On scene we had... 3 Police cars, 2 fire crews, ambulance, air ambulance, 3 first responders and fire chief. '
From the sound of it the only person affected was walking wounded - I am readily confused but why quite so many valuable people dealing with one car hitting a tree or something?
I'm getting old.

Not sure why the air ambulance came, I guess its sent if not busy and again not sure why 2 fire engines came again it up to the other services.
From the police point of view, we needed 3 people, 2 to safely do the traffic (it was on a nasty corner) and 1 to do the paperwork (booklet) Each car is single cewed.

JJ has a point. At the point when an RTI (I for incident as nothing is an accident... there is always a cause... and there is usually a human at the start of the chain)....
At the point an RTI happens, there is a short window where correct use of recovery techniques can prevent the situation from becoming worse. I'd rather drivers knew what to do at this point. I wonder how many RTI's are sevre because one or more of the drivers froze... or worse... carried out the wrong correction.
There will always be those who use Tesco's for extra curricular activities... and there are mechanisms for dealing with them. Limiting a drivers ability to recover from an emergency situation should to prevent some loputish behaviour is not a sensible idea... as long as theyre in Tescos... I don't mind!

1.0L is still far to powerful for most drivers, mady limiting them to a 2.25 naturally asmatic diesel for the first year might work.
