@Azureecosse Start a petition! Or a riot... (:

@cavaderblood Man thats a great Idea i will call the PM straight away and get him told.

[cavaderblood]

@Azureecosse Perhaps you should use whatever salt we use here in the states then.

[Azureecosse]

@cavaderblood sorry mate he is correct there the salt grit mix used on British roads does not work below-4c, its well tested and documented here, the local authorities harp on about it every winter to the point where you just wanna go to the seychelles and forget the snow and ice, the Irony is where i live in the north we can go down to -20c easy so it renders the mix pointless.

Why did everyone line up to get up the hill. You need a rolling start, good tires, and salt on the road. If someone starts sliding back down, it is a massive wreck. Best off just not going anywhere if you don't know how to drive on snow/ice

@andy1cal Sorry man, but you're just wrong, I don't know how else to put it. Road salt where I live works to -20 F at least, legally (Vermont, USA). If it didn't, there would be a lot more fatalities.
