I’ve brought some snow back from Avonmouth tonight. God knows who we can charge for the back load though [emoji23]

You do know that’s theft.
I mean it’s the only thing that makes Avonmouth look clean

Such blatant…
Disregard for the rules!
I’m shocked! How could you possibly drive that in the snow with your front number plate completely obscured like that?! This is the sort of thing that puts lives in danger! You could have caused untold misery if a basket of puppies had been in the carriageway!
I’m forwarding this thread to the traffic commisioner!
I hope you reflect upon your moment of madness over tea and biccies and understand why you may well be shot at dawn!
possible overuse of exclamation mark sorry i was just so angry

He’ll get over that. Driving an Iveco though is something that will taint his memory forever.
At least the snow covered the badge. Be thankful for small mercies.
Driving into Cornwall yesterday I noticed that all the stuck cars were BMWs, with their pathetic back wheels spinning uselessly.
Why do people bother with them?
I feel suitably chastised and regretful for my actions.
I realise driving an Iveco is bad enough and the numberplate is unforgivable.
I also had an AEBS warning most of the way back so I also had to make sure I didn’t crash into anything on the way back rather than rely on the truck. Bloody snow on the radar making f it not work [emoji2962].
The Iveco was one of the lesser evils it was that or a Merc. So not much of a choice really. [emoji23]
I do hope that snow was secured. And didn’t put you overweight otherwise nina will want a word with you

You need to go to Specsavers, the registration is clearly H1 WAY.

But he’s found a use for the snow - covering up the Iveco name on the front, then he can pretend it’s a Volvo or a DAF or absolutely anything other than an Iveco. 
I drive a DAF, I feel your shame, kindof

There was a white 3 Series Beemer gone through the hedge on the A66 near Elton, with damage to the Armco on the central reservation opposite (I was riding shotgun with one of our HIAB lads at the time).
If you have to drive on a motorway on the first cold morning of the year, it is a cert that the first car you pass with its front in the barrier and its arse in the road will be a RWD Beemer.
The combination of poor roadholding and arrogant driver is an absolute winner!

Because for the other 364 days of the year when it’s not snowing they are excellent cars. Standard stupid comment about BMW’s as usual [emoji849]

I thought the same, got 2 rwd cars and 3 fwd and the rwd car that’s my daily has done just fine even with 18" wheels.
Biggest problem with German rear wheel cars in the snow and ice is the majority (not all) the drivers have one way to drive - “powwweerr…more powweerr!”.
The odd thing is, Germans seem to be able to drive in much worse conditions than us so it must be possible, but perhaps we need to ban wide / low profile tyres which arent proper winter tyres from the road in Winter and esp on RWD.
Oh and its not the snow which is the problem, its the ice which we get a lot more than 1 day a year in most of the country.
The ones which I’m finding are becoming even more dangerous are these SUV so called crossovers. Big std cars essentially but look more like a 4x4. See so many thinking they have superior grip despite most being 2WD but going at stupid speeds, and into ditches. Guess they the new Chelsea Tractors.

You do know that unlike a fwd car you can actually still steer a rwd one when they both inevitably lose traction and even the supposed extra weight on the front drive wheels is often just a myth when compared to the combined weight of all the suspension and transmission components of a decent sized RWD car and even when it isn’t it still ain’t enough to make much difference in terms of outright traction easily outweighed by the rwd ability to be steered with its drive wheels spinning.On that note I drove through plenty of far more severe winters in the 70’s and 80’s with rear wheel drive cars which would have stopped the current Zafira in its tracks before turning out of or into the driveway.Although admittedly with far better old school tread patterns then.
