Exclamation Driving!

I want to tell everyone here to BE SO careful where you have snow

I went to work last night was fine then. I left and found 6 inches of snow without theroads being gritted. I only had a short drive so got the car going i forgot that by my house i would have to go down a 40% hill.

Had no problems until this point. I got there and knew i was goin to skid down so i controled the skid as best i could hand brake half on and foot breakdoing the rest. I was lucky i got home in one piece i didn't park the car i got hubby out of bed to do.

I want you all to be safe next time i may not be so lucky. we have a barrier at the bottom of that hill and i dread to think if i had hit it.

stay safe guys xx
