The iceman cometh

Having learned to drive in the 1970s, when winters were winters and cars were mainly rear-wheel drive, the last few weeks haven't presented too many motoring problems to me.

Not so many of the younger generation. Witness the young chap in the Fiesta attempting to drive past the Grumpy Motorist household this morning. Okay, so it's a mild uphill slope and a bit icy, but there's no excuse for coming to a halt with masses of wheelspin. He then backed off and tried again with even more revs.

Needless to say with a little deft footwork I drove away with no drama at all. gentleness is the key.

The youth of today, eh? I blame the parents.
