    Default Snow socks. For your car.

    With all the talk of people being stuck and unable to drive. I thought I would share this with you.
    When I was out yesterday I spotted a guy with these on a BMW Z4, which being a rear wheel drive car should be an absolute pig of a car on ice.
    But this guy just drove by me on a very steep hill that was a sheet of ice. Literally so bad that I saw three 4x4s fail to make it.
    I'm buying a set. They are cheap enough to buy and throw in the boot, just in case.

    I hope I'm not breaking any rules here, but anything that could help someones safety should be allowed.

    A few cement blocks in the boot of a rear wheel drive car and you'll have a lot better grip, those socks are a great job but the roads are lined with torn ones where people drive too fast with them on and they rip to shreads..

    The guy who had them said they work great but take em off the moment you are on tarmac or drive really slow inbetween the icy bits.
