Just had a call from my DP (hands free!!!) who is explaining that the motorway is like an ice rink and that he is driving at about 30mph at max. He is in a van. About three times he has exclaimed about idiots zooming past him in 4x4s!! Yeah ok, so you might have more traction in a 4x4 but isn't this to help you pull away and drive more safely - it is not a green light to drive like a twat, your stopping distance is still going to be compromised in the snow, you could still lose control - kill yourselves if you must but FFS, my DP is trying to get home in one peice you selfish waste of spaces, i loathe people who drive like this, they are putting other peoples lives at risk for what? getting home 20 minutes earlier!! brain dead

grrrrr had to get that out!!

One of the mum's from DS's school called me today and offered us a lift to/from (both ways dropping me off/picking me up) in her 4wd because she had heard I was having trouble with the ice.

I shall never mock the Chelsea Tractor again, turns out it can be very helpful.
