The trouble is that, here in the deep south (of England) we are not used to snow like this. Something I quickly had to come to terms with when I was driving my sproglets and my daughters friend to school this morning.
The main roads were fine but as soon as I got off them I was reduced to about 5 m.p.h. and even just a slight tap on the brakes meant that steering no longer made any sense and we were sliding about like a elephant on an ice skating rink!!!
So, my tip is that when driving on ICE try not to use your brakes.
This was a genuinely new experience for me and you never know how you are going to react when you are faced with suddenly having no control in a 280 b.h.p. rear wheel drive sports car, full of children, on what is basically a sheet of ice disguised as a road.
Luckily we really enjoyed it and screamed with laughter
They're walking to school tomorrow!
