Are you sure about that? I've come across more than my share this week - one dozy mare who was crawling along at about 8 mph and then somehow managed to slow down even more on a steep down hill so that I was having to apply the brakes on compressed snow - there was just no other way I could keep some distance from the back of her car, and I've also been tailgated on compressed snow - so close that I couldn't see his front numberplate through my mirrors. That wasn't pleasant. To name but two.

from what iv seen over the past 2 days the snow is a lot safer than the cold we have here now- yesterday driving to a job there was a great big tailback on a minor countryroad i wnet past, talking to someone in the village shop and FIVE cars had skidded off on one stretch of road andd this morning another one was on its roof in a ditch, with 2 :police:cars and an ambulance attending :shock: :shock:

a trick I was taught was if your in a 2wd front wheel drive car and you want to go round a corner and it is just going forwards is to dip the clutch. It does work!
If it is an auto and rwd be careful as when you brake the back wheels will want to keep pushing you and might loose the back end. Did in my lorry. grrr. neutral was the only way around some corners!
just use little revs as possible especially pulling away. Chap at work on a very slight incline then a speed bump got stuck. He was just booting it. Then people went to push to he moved away gentley then he again booted it and stopped. I got bored watching so just drove past him in the disco and filled up with diesel over the road and watched him not going very far!!! :lol:
Disco on bfg a/ts was awesome. never got stuck once, even on a steep incline on sheet ice when I had to stop and push a car up a hill, the disco had slight wheel spin but eased off gas pedal and up she went.
Sorry this post is not very current any more but I have only just had my internet conncected again. grrr. I do still have some snow out side and in places on peoples driveways.

Never presume you know where the road is in snow drifts, if in doubt get the pokey stick out.
