Did anyone see the woman with the BMW where she got out the car whilst it was still in gear spinning the wheels, and pushed it to get it moving?

Think it was posted over on the coupe club

For those that missed it

Women drivers eh, the bmw one was just a numpty, the fiesta one a numpty, but if it was me id head for the nice big soft green bush, or buy a car with a bit of mass like a 406.

Given that I live in a fecking hot country - how can you spot black ice?

[steve_earwig]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_ice

Black ice is a bit of a misnomer, it should be invisible ice. In answer to your question, you don't spot it as such, but there are clues - like a load of oddly parked cars and a group of people standing around, these days with their mobile phones filming you.

[FarmerPug]

black ice is easy enough to spot, the 406 has a built in alert system which alerts of black ice on the road.

[steve_earwig]

Where's that then? All I've got is something that says it's cold

[Welly]

Indeed, it is up to the driver to be aware of black ice.
