The Great British Weather

where I am from it is a punishable offence to drive your car on icy roads without winter tyres. when I see all those crashed cars on BBC this morning it seems that the British aren't even considering it.

with all those self indulgent cunts swerving all over the place is it even safe to cycle now?

The real eye opener for me up here. Is how nearly an entire city full of very experianced winter drivers, will leave their cars at home. If winter comes early and they havent changed their tyres.

(We did'nt use our car for 10 days this Autumm, as it was at the top of our driveway with summer tyres on, and I needed the early snow to clear so I could drive to flat ground.)

I'm usually proud of the british 'carry on regardless' attitude. But sometimes its just naive.
