I wonder if anyone has any views on what motorists might have been able to use in order to make driving both easier and more safe?
Brains might help. Loads of drivers not having lights on. In driving snow cars even 50m away become almost invisible with no lights.

Reactions: Kempton
Current weather advice from the Met Office ..... Southerners - should not venture out of their house under any circumstances and not make any journeys unless they are of major importance.

Northerners - time to get your big coat on.
 
It's a bit of GoT scenario really.

Southerners - King's Landing. Obviously never seen snow, have no ****ing idea how to react other than with apocalyptic proclamations.

Northerners - Winterfell and above. Winter's been here non-stop since the Roman times.
 
Was that the one when it was really cold? People already seem to have forgotten that minus 15 was the norm. The snow genuinely didn’t melt on my street for over a month.
'95 or '96 was ****ing cold. Temperatures went below my anti freeze protection level and cracked the engine block on my Mini Pick Up.

Not summer tyres in winter? Seen loads of people out ill prepared with summer tyres on getting stuck in the snow. I wonder why they don't have these very same issues where winter tyres are compulsory during seasons when temperatures hover around freezing. Funny that.
