Lovely day here too but Im going nowhere as there was a light dusting of sleety snow last night that has turned into
sheet ice, I nearly lost my van in similar conditions a few years back so would rather lose a days earnings than risk losing a
lot more.
The van decided to slide off on its own with handbrake fully on down a slight hill dragging my hose and me behind it, even though it was a narrow street it missed every parked car and came to a stop on a main road at the bottom of the hill which luckily for me was one of the very few times when it was traffic free.
Couldn't believe my luck.

another ignorant idiot driving around on "summer tyres" putting others at risk, if you equip your vehicle correctly with winter tyres for the conditions then the van would not have slide down the hill.

it was only luck that you did not seriously injure someone? you are a complete moron

Get a grip you silly prat it wouldn't have mattered what tyres I was using and I guarantee there wasn't a single vehicle
in the street or in the area that had changed their tyres over to winter, muppet. ::)roll

A lovely day in Cheshire. -2 at 8am but +8 at 11am. Got a full day's work in, well, a full Friday's work in anyway.
