Theres a chap in my street who had bought this mini 2 months ago. Was only a little 998...nevertheless, he was parked by his drive, when from inside he heard a large bang.

Looked out of his window to find that someone coming down the hill had slid into his car and moved it about 15m from where he was parked.

It doesn't matter how good or shite driver you are if you're not on winter tyres.

When we came home from the UK two weeks ago, we had to stop in the middle of the road because it went icy. It has got nothing to do with good drivers or not.

However, an intelligent person would stay at home on summer tyres and conditions like that.

but a dumb person tries to get up a snowy hill (leading to a junction) in a beemer by putting thier boot down going sideways over the junction and ending up on the bank at the other side of the road nearly on the golf course.

its the people that are caught out in these conditions that dont take anything into consideration and drive normally and try to brake suddenly/sharply that Tom and everyone is reffering too i believe.

he was a little annoyed as now he's left without a mini, but think he wants another one not too sure.

As for the damage on the other guys car, apparently he had to be towed away and his car is now at greenmeadow (Neils 2nd workplace) He was also driving with a bald tyre.

this picture illustrates how fast he must have been going. The mini was parked in the area circled....

Agreed.

The problem we have here is the idiots in their 4x4s that seem to think that they have to drive faster to test out their skills in the poor conditions.

Totally agree, the problem is we get snow so rarely that people aren't used to it.
