Its Snowing!!

:upyours:

I'd show u a fist if the Smilies list had one.

you actually CLICKED it? yee gods!


Went for chips mid-blizzard at around 5pm in T'Wallsend... was CHAOS, everyone doing 3 miles per hour, snow was settling instantly...

Thurs - cold and cunny
Friday - EVEN MORE SNOW - 6 hours forcast!

GET IN

Buzzing with the snow, Asda was dead there was no one nagging me for this item or that item.

The work was done and a laugh was had and got an early finish

Just a shame the uselss cunt i work with still didnt do anymore than he normally does with a full shop :evil:

I stayed away from driving yesterday... got bus into toon, this morning i started work at 7am, one of the worst drives of my life scariest drives of my life id nearly wet myself with fear before leaving the street im terrified of ice/snow on roads when im driving.


A19 was dark, foggy and god damn awful

Works car park was like a bloody ice rink

This is a good thing

My work car park was pretty much empty (3 cars in it)...was given suitable use before coming into work, finishing with a skillful hand brake turn into the parking bay nearest the door....got out feeling all smug, and the door was locked

I like driving in the snow to be honest, apart from on the motorway

We've just got Jack Frost No snow yet....

i dont do handbreak turns etc.... im terrified, its the 1st time in a while that im dreading leaving work

My mum is the same really, you just have to be careful and not panic!

If you start to slide, turn IN to the skid to counter it

Dont stamp on the brakes either if you dont have ABS

Some useful snow survival skills there

What gets on my nerves is the horrendous traffic it causes because people drive unnecissarily slow at times

Thankyou chik

How do you know if you have ABS brakes? Also when i break when it slippy, it feels like grinding and that the car isnt gonna stop

If you have ABS and stamp on the breaks, the peddle will bounce, as the brakes go on and off quickly to stop the wheels locking up...once you lock up you are pretty much helpless. So its useful to know that when driving (not just in snow) and you need to brake hard and lock up, get off the breaks and on again quickly...like pump the brakes so the wheels dont lock!

I think that just generally happens on snow/ice, the wheels grinding...your wheels have probs locked up by then. Its different in snow though because there is pretty 0 grip even at low speeds so keep your distance and if anybody gets too close, give him the Vs

its like a driving less on this

cheers for the advice, lets hope i get home with me and my car in one piece
