Annoymouse Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Roads were really icy this morning around 7am, my car was twitching quite a bit especially Bray Hill and QB but I did 20-30mph most of the way, some absolute clowns about jamming the anchors on and sliding about, clearly expecting magic to happen between the contact patch and icy road surface. After skating about a bit I dropped 5 PSI out of both front tyres and that helped tremendously, wonder if anyone else did the same? Asking for a friend but if you can see someone is about to plough into the back of your stationary vehicle can you legally jump a red? because clearly quite a few had never heard of something called engine braking down Bray Hill and I was certainly eying up the left hand turn as an exit route.

CrazyDave Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 So many Facebook comments from idiots asking what the grifters weren’t out. Put some decent tyres on for winter, learn how to disable driver aids if necessary to get the best traction, and drive to the conditions ffs. Sometimes that means changing your route to avoid steep hills, or not going out at all for a bit if you can avoid it. Oh, and stay away from electric vehicles that have too much torque for ice and no ability to feather the clutch, plus a reduced range in cold weather.

Easy to come up with an excuse, that minibus could have easily killed someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombay Bad Boy Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I've been to a gokart track in the US, where they deliberately keep it hosed down (they call it the 'slick track') slipping and sliding around on slick tyres, good luck getting the thing over 5mph. Incredible fun, and instructional for when you get a grown-ups car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
