It's icy as fuck outside my house. Drivers seem to think that to get traction they should rev their engines as hard as possible in 1st gear and wheelspin like mad, once away they nail it to the end of the road where they brake too hard and too late and go sliding off. Epic twattery.
And I just saw an old man fall over and hit his head. He is alright though. None of the pavements have been gritted and people are walking down the middle where it's sheet ice, instead of the sides where there's still some snow and you can get traction.
My advice is to stay at home, ride your bike and drink your milk.
