You'll crash them!
Big wide summer sports tyres does not help!
Saw 2 crashes already today, low speed stuff, but both were young people who hadn't a clue how fast to drive.

To be fair - there are plenty of middle aged and elderly people who don't have a clue how to drive in snow and ice either, who I'm sure will have accidents today.

I'm just about to go out (to work) in my Supra. That is NOT going to be fun at all. It is a little twitchy when there is a slight dew on the ground let alone actual snow ...

Click on view my Scooby for a couple of pics of this morning.
This is what a real Impreza should look like, not some poncy polished thing tucked away in the garage, under a fleecy blanket, next to a radiator to keep it warm!

When it's your only mode of transport you have to use it, can't be arsed with the ' oh it's wet outside best not get the car out ' thing 
.
Hence driving to work this morning was fun, back end of motor sliding around a treat, great fun
.
Anyway come the weekend I can give it a wash then, I'm sure the salt won't rot it away in 2 days !.

I do have a choice of vehicles to drive and i tend to take the Almera as its Diesel but it simply would not get to the top of my road this Morning......first gear all the way and then you slide back down hoping not to hit any cars
Pulled the Scooby out and was at work in 5 minutes
I think i will pop out for a bite to eat
