Most people seem to be talking about difficulties in the snow, imho it is the compacted snow, ie, ice that causes the most problems, including black ice and M&S Tyres will slide on this just as much, as said educate the drives....

where M+S tires even skate , normal tires will fly

Its not the boots that causes the issues in the Uk, its the seat-steering wheel interface

Honestly Cem, we dont get it that bad here. Its only really the side roads and even they can be negotiated if your prepared and drive correctly.

Exactly which is why most of should'nt be forced by law to buy 4 tyres for each vehicle. If i can get around in a 1966 banger then the rest have no excuse & the law should'nt come into it.
    The irony is the Cortina demists the windscreen much quicker than the Beastie does!!!

Ahh, the fount of all automotive knowledge. The fashion victim in a 1 series.

Dressed appropriately for the conditions too, of course.

Round here sadly the worst behaviour seems to be from kids or Audi drivers.  Both seem to think they are invincible.  Combining the two is potentially lethal, with some acne-riddled kid flying past my house yesterday in an A3 and falling off the road at the bend resulting in his front n/s suspension wrecked, while later out walking the pooch I watched the owner of a Q8 - for which I have only one question: why? - sit unable to move on a slight ramp to a pub car park  that a girl in a Mini had easily negoiated just moments before.  It's difficult not to laugh when you can see the driver of such an ugly, hideous waste of road space angrily stab at buttons and jump up and down in their seat.  So I did. 

That's being a little bit unfair on one brand of motor though.  This evening I saw a pleb in a Nissan not bother to use their indicators before trying to turn right into a side road, causing two pedestrians to flee for safety and a Disco approaching the junction to sharply take avoiding action.  When someone can't even do the basics correctly then how can you expect them to cope with unusual road conditions?
