I drove my eldest to the coach stop during the recent cold snap. Snow was coming down but not too badly.
Halfway there though, it suddenly turned into a blizzard.
My daughter called a friend on the coach to check if it was still coming, and as it was and nearly there, we waited for it.
Getting home was like driving on an ice rink. As I turned off the main road, the car refused, insisting on going off at a tangent.
I steered into it like you're supposed to and braked, released, and braked again, but I still elegantly slid into a brick wall.
Bugger!
Gingerly reversing back, I traveled the rest of the way in Low gear at 1mph.
The next morning I checked for damage but fortunately it was all superficial.
