BTW, almost no-one in the UK uses winter tyres on our cars. The last long term "big freeze" I recall here East Anglia was back in February 1991! Most drivers here have little or no experience of driving on snow
I don`t mind the snow, that`s fun..but I hate ice. You just can`t see it on a cold morning...one minute I`m happily pootling to work, the next I`ve got an armfull of steering lock trying to stop the back end from coming round.
These stupid windy,twisty, narrow roads with ditches and banks on either side give you no room for error, luckily the worst that`s happened to me was doing a 180 approaching a corner and ended up going backwards down someones drive.
The house owners were suprised, and I found out adrenaline is brown.. :-o
