Here’s something that was interesting to me tonight. Apologies if it isn’t to anyone else! ;-)
Anyway, having had a cold and frosty few days, it rained for a while earlier this evening and then it froze again.
I’ve just been out in my car on a short journey that involved untreated country roads. They were pretty treacherous with regular patches of white and black ice. On a not too steep hill, a Range Rover in front of me was struggling to get up it and the driver eventually gave up and pulled over to the side of the road at the bottom of the hill.
As I delicately went past it and successfully tootled up the hill, in my RWD E Class, I noticed in my mirror the Range Rover turning and retreating back the way it had come.
No driver divinity involved on my part, just full winter tyres.
They make a heck of a difference.
