You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
If it snows, you will not defeat the laws of physics. You will crash, the road will be closed all day, and you'll ruin the day of everyone else too.
Have a coffee in the services instead.
Not if the lorry is on Michelin CrossClimates. The lorry driver will be cruising smugly along, pissing into a bottle and watching youtube while 4x4s spin their tyres impotently in the merest skiff of snow. These things are known.
But they've got deliveries to make, they can't just take a day off, I want my Ikea stuff on Thursday.
Any delays to the replacement axle for my radio controlled car are UNACCEPTABLE.
applies to any of the godlike drivers who believe they can defy the laws of physics.
happy to spend loads on the perfect tire for summer - which equates to about 2 months out of 12 and happy enough to compromise on grip and stopping the other 10 months of the year their commute is below +7 degrees 😀
"happy to spend loads on the perfect tire for summer"
lol! You wish. A tyre's a tyre, and as long as it's got 1.6mm on it you're golden.
Lorryists more than 1.0mm and your good to go.

ooohhhh look at the pilot sitting surrounded by a bevy of beauties* looking down on the poor, hardworking, truckies!
*female and male for the sake of STW equality

One is grounded at the moment; the closest I’m getting to a bevy of beauties is the cute Czech girl manning the till in the staff canteen.
Still closer than the poor lorry driver driving through the night with razzle on his iPad to try and stay awake!
As a 'Lorryist' myself
If it snows, you will not defeat the laws of physics.
Tell that to the desk jockey Traffic clerk who you wouldn't even trust with a caravan. When you start arguing about the conditions they threaten you with 'Refusing to do a reasonable request'.
