Had to drive the A57 back into Sheffield yesterday night, couple of inches of settled snow and very poor visibility - the regular speed limit is 50 and there was no way I was going more than 25 even on CrossClimates (which are pretty good on snow). About every 5 minutes somebody would be three inches from my bumper, many of them flashing their lights and aggressively trying to pass. I let them go - natural selection will do its job. Saw a lot of stranded and bumped cars in the city too - why people would still try to go out on a Saturday evening in thick snow on summer tyres is beyond me. I barricaded myself back in the house as soon as possible.
Also, both in the snow and in the recent fog - lots and lots of people with no lights!
