I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Couldn't agree more with both of you.
Actually saw someone on a "dune buggy" towing a kid on a sledge in our village yesterday

Around here a lot of people will clean there windows but leave snow on the tops of their roofs - mainly SUV drivers Driving behind those people when snow comes flying off their car roofs is no fun and can be very dangerous!

The snow must go on XXXX OFF
Re: With the Snow Come the Idiots!
It is illegal to do so.
The law (in the UK) requires that all snow is removed from windows AND ROOF of the vehicle before driving.

As well as lights and registration plates. This also applies to the dark grime that builds up from gritted roads.

Re: With the Snow Come the Idiots!
While we're having a rant about road users... people who drive with only the day running lights on. Not sure if it applies outside Europe, but all new cars in the UK and Europe have had to have day running lights. Its something the Swedish drivers had for years and is very sensible. Basically there are always light on at the front of the car (a bit like sidelights). They are typically LED based and its proven to make pedestrians more aware of vehicles. They are bright, but the idea is that they draw attention to the vehicle rather than light up the road, so there is no "beam" from them. So we now have a growing number of idiots driving around in the dark with no lights on (other than these day running lights which come on as soon as you start the car). This means there are no lights at all on the rear of the vehicle.
Rant over.
