Shame there isn't a vid of it happening.

I bet she blames the car, not her own driving

She probably thought, "There's nothing to worry about, I've got a 4x4 and it can go anywhere. Why should I need to alter my way of driving?"
Reminds me of that picture of a new Rangie Sport on it's roof in the snow a few years back.

She might even try to sue LR for building a vehicle that jumps onto its roof in the snow!

Would be a pretty cool party trick. Flip the disco.

There's barely even any snow on that road. Yeah i wouldn't do it in a BMW or anything, however ancient series 1s/2s wouldn't even notice that amount of snow.

Coming to think of it, neither would the old Series 3 I used to drive when I was gainfully employed.

I was hoping to have my series 2a at home for the snow. It wasn't snowing so i moved it to the farm to do work on it.

It's just started snowing for ****s sake. Ironically probably can't get to the farm to retrieve the series due to the snow now.

Ay even a proppa disco it's a freelander in a new frock

You could have got back to the farm if you drove a..

no, wait...

That's a type of road when it has a light covering of snow is ideal for the ABS activating with the slightest of brake pedal pressure, perhaps its the first time for her... ooo Vicar what's that vibration I can feel.
So was she not paying attention and so clipped the kerb, I've never clipped a kerb but I've seen speeding rally cars do it and they turn over, but my thoughts is how would this happen if the vehicle was travelling a sensible speed to match the road conditions.

Aided by a healthy dose of f*ckwittery

On the phone?
Doing her mascara?
Redoing her "lippy"?
I've seen women driving while they are doing all these things.
Who knows?

Certainly wasn't looking out of the windscreen!

clipped a wall according to the article

I had a Defender 90 go past me sideways this morning as I walked back from town. A bit too much throttle coming out of a corner. It was quite impressive once I'd worked out there was no way it could wipe me out. We took the Series 3 out a bit later and I was very gentle with her on the roads as the old Xtra Grips might be good off road but I'm not too sure of them on slippery roads. Most people were quite well behaved out there, but there is always a few isn't there.
