Its desperate!
Many local authorities and also the group that control the M50 (M50 Concession Ltd) were caught by surprise. FFS they were predicting snow last weekend but these idiots thought that they wouldn't need to get out the gritters! |

Had to "drift" over a bridge near adamstown, car in front stopped at the top of the bridge and I had to start going again. Tired after sitting in the car for 3 hours going nowhere.

No electronics can override the laws of physics people who think they can will crash their cars! People in 4x4's are particularly prone to the illusion that natural law does not apply.

Finally winter is here! Rear wheel drivers have happy days :) I just luv it!!! But yesterday saw many crashes and 1 new 5 series was off the road despite all the fancy electonic stabilisation controls. Any damages or all garage bounded? Perfect time to practise. Here I go again! At work I use wrong wheel drive and its way too boring. Happy sideways and drive safe!!! Edited by Maniac |
