Do they remove your common sense when you place the order or something?

I'm more worried about the people watching. Much as I think most of these people don't have a clue, I would be down there helping.

I love it how everyone in this country seems to sit around watching people getting stuck or making mistakes whenever it snows. It's always comments on how stupid everyone else is, how no one knows how to drive or how you should pull away in 6th gear in the snow. If everyone is so wise and skilful at driving in the snow, how come there are so many people that are making mistakes and getting it wrong? Also, if there's a woman who's got stuck outside your house; go help her out. Don't hide behind your net curtains giggling pretending to be a man who knows best - you'd probably still have a front door.

I dont think she realised it was in gear tbf, that doesnt have an LSD so the chances are the NSR wheel was the only one spinning (the one she couldnt see) Also if it was accidently left in gear she wouldnt have felt the clutch bite because of such little grip. Also at the pace of that wheel its not in 1st.
Still hilarious though. This would explain why so many RWD cars get written off.

What a complete moron and yes, the people watching should have helped after having a bit of a laugh.

When she got out, perhaps in frustration forgetting it was in gear, and from experience i have got out of my car while it was spinning on idle. Im just not daft enough to do it in a confined space.
Also if she was like every other female driver she probably had the music on loud regardless of the situation they are in so wouldnt hear it spinning?
I have only come up with this scenario becasue i simply cant believe it would be humanely possible to be so thick to do such a thing!........Is it?

Looks like she had done it deliberately to get out and push.

Well the snow has now transformed into packed down ice where i live so its an ice rink. Now we just need it to rain like it did last year and cause absolute terror on every single road
Sheet black ice on the motorway = me sliding backwards down a slight gradient towards following traffic. More than 20 meant never stopping going down the other side onto a roundabout or less than 20 meant sliding back down

I would have helped TBH.
I need to help the next stricken person I see because I span on a roundabout yesterday and out of nowhere this lad in a thick coat and scarf pushed me and helped me get away, I couldnt stop to say thanks
I need to help someone now, Karma and all that....

I would've helped the idiot I mentioned yesterday but i think running over to him through the snow wearing only my towel would've just added to the distress tbh. Had I been dressed I would've gone over and informed him of the correct way to drive, then if he cocked it up again I'd have slapped him and made him walk to his destination

Left the Mazda on the drive after looking up the reviews for Paradas in the snow.
"PARADA Spec-2 tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice."
My little Berlingo has been superb though, people are getting stuck and I'm just driving through like normal
Few pics
