Your insurance premiums will eventually teach you how to drive to the conditions.

Not 100% my fault. Left plenty of space, quite hard to anticipate someone braking hard for no reason. The golf only just managed to avoid the lead car by planting it up a bank

Sadly i had a hell of an argument with a guy who was complaining about insurance premiums and him being quoted £8,000 on a 1ltr Nissan Micra, pillock thinks that just because he didn't actually crash, didn't kill/injure anyone or damage anyone's property he shouldn't have sky high premiums when he gets his licence back after 3yrs for getting done for the 2nd time drink driving

Jesus wept, he thinks he should be allowed to kill someone before he gets penalised for being a moron

Had an exciting night out last night... left the Land Rover product at home just to be on the safe side.

Oh a slitty over a freelander

The slitty has me BFG 265 70 17s on at around 25 psi....

It’s the tyres and the driver that make the fundamental difference.

If I could get those size tyres on a freelander it would pîss all over 90s and 110s on the road for snow and ice.

Come to think of it, ît ****ed all over them last year with its Geolanders.

We did let a couple of Landy’s come out to play with us last night. We just made sure they had strong recovery points when they were stuck.

As for the bleddy Jimny brigade... they are like little tarts all over the place last night.

You rarely if ever see a reason for a car braking in front. No reason that you can see is exactly what you are supposed to anticipate.

We all get caught out at times but that doesn't change where the fault lies.

I hope everyone got out OK anyway

No injuries. Was less than 10mph, just a sad lookkng golf.
