Getting colder folks. Here are my winter tips - please add your own or tell me if i'm talking rubbish!
Don't put newspaper on your windscreen - it freezes on and makes it really messy to de ice the screen
.
Night before preicer does work but not if it's really really cold.
Driving on uncompressed snow is more grippy than on compacted snow and ice.
Pull away in second gear very slowly on icy roads.
Reverse up hill if the car can't get enough grip forwards!
Frost can be removed from the windscreen with a bowl of luke warm water applied as a trickle! (Too hot and you will crack your screen!)
