maybe I should take advantage of the skidpan course that is being advertised again on all these flyers I keep seeing stuck to any available post/sign round my way?Then again, cant really afford any more tyres at the momment
I did not go on courses if you feel the car - Go on icy or snow-covered ground, feel how the car goes into a skid, and how to pull out of skid. On snow or ice is not as detrimental to rubber, and pad will allow you not to harm themselves and others if you can not control whether the process.
Do not press the accelerator pedal until it stops immediately and permanently, have a little bit, start with very small, and gradually add the pace. And about what you said leaflets? You're on the stickers on my car?
