Ian that exact thing happened to us on Sunday on the M90.. We wer one of the only cars on the road, taking it easy obviously on the inside lane (the outside lane couldn't even be seen) A bloody artic. lorry came whoring out of nowhere, overtook us and we were driving blind and braking harder than we should have been for what seemed like ages! Can't believe the force of the spray that hit hit the windscreen! Arsehole!!

The amount of people I've heard saying the same thing or similar, that the actions of truckers caused them to brake, causing 'near misses' or accidents ...... not good and braking is a very natural reflect that's incredibly difficult to avoid doing, and in this weather, the slightest touch on the brakes is enough to cause all sorts of problems.

This country is not geared up for it in any way: either by equipment,vehicles or financially. The main issue certainly on Monday was quite simply, how quickly it came ...and how long it stayed snowing heavily for. If it had been spread out over a few days, I don't think it would have been quite so bad.

Mind you.... we'd perhaps be a bit more financially able to cope if our MPs stopped claiming their ludicrious expenses etc..... but that's a whole different topic altogether for a whole different thread.

Yeah.. it was really scary! Couldn't see a thing! I don't think lorrys should be allowed in the overtaking lanes at all!

However.. we're all safe

can't belive your car is still on the M8!

My friend finally got home at 4.30am after 14 hours stuck on it.. the army eventually came with food supplied friom Asda..

LOL,,,,, My car's not still on the M8. I had to ditch it halfway between Newhouse and home !! Hells bells... it would most likely have been ransacked, stuck up on bricks if it had been left there!!

Oh....in saying that... I haven't seen it for 2 days... it could still be ransacked and up on bricks!! Ach, it's a hired car... !!!

There's as much chance of that as us having a 100degree heatwave by this weekend!

God, I wish it was true though. On both counts!

A lot of them now have porous surfaces so the rain just seeps through instead of lying on the top.
