It didn't seem that bad going East but there you go. All the side roads in Southampton are completely sheet ice as well though- when I came in no one could get up any of the hills, there were vans in hedges, buses stuck dead and pedestrians struggling to stay on their feet! Go Hampshire council! Useless bast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ullapool Trials Rider Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Our school is having a day off because the roads are inaccesable for buses. When you are driving, you are pretty much driving on ice. No one has crashed where i live because we are very careful drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lterally can't cope with snow or ice down here, Southern fairies brains just seem to stop working at the first sign of it and they immediately steer towards the first solid thing they see!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Do you not have these square combustion engine powered contraptions with wheels on them that drive around with salt and sand falling out of the back?Our taxes seem to be spent paying for immigrants to be housed and fed, paying for politicians (frozen) duck ponds and moats and invading other countries and waging war rather thab buying such ingenious contraptions.

Julius Czar Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Its all so pathetic, our neighbouring council has 5 gritters/plows, and our council only has one, and even the majority of our main roads are'nt even gritted, not to mention the side streets, they're still the way they were when the snow first fell, nightmare... Edit: Saw one last night, when the ice had melted anyway... ¬¬ Edited December 23, 2009 by Julius Czar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Blah Blah Blah.Edit: Saw one last night, when the ice had melted anyway... ¬¬That gritter was awesome. It did the middle of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 If only everyone had a proper car! Youtube Video -> Original Video Haha, that's an amazing advert! Dave, stop being so sarcastic.Clearly there's been a lot of people who've been badly affected by this cold snap, but am I not the only one who's fallen in love with driving again?! You can have so much fun on the roads at silly slow speeds, and get some superb drifts and slides. Penduluming down the M25 at 50 was quite an experience that's for sure.

Mark W Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ali almost caused a 3 car, Tartybikes exclusive (literally everyone who works there full-time) pile-up in a Manchester car park yesterday due to sheet ice, a Renault handbrake, and fail.

that NBR dude Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 We couldnt get out of our road, there are steep hills all around to get out, so we were stranded. There was a 6 car pile up coming down the hill, next door neighbour broke her arm, I nearly broke my ankle stepping out the front door and slipping getting my leg wedged under my moms car, and anyone who made it safely down the hill couldnt get back up, including 2 police cars.

Alex Dark Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Took the bike out to test the hub.....tried to kick to backwheel and thought king did full pedal skip. Just black ice, so relieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
