No, there’s no snow a-glistening, it’s just dark, wet and windy and I’m so glad I have comprehensive women’s car insurance because driving conditions are pretty treacherous at the moment in the UK.
High winds seem to make you wobble all over the road and pounding rain can sometimes reduce visibility to barely a few metres. Combine all this with the fact that some motorists reduce their speed to around 15 mph as soon as a splash of rain hits their windscreen, while others continue on at 90 on a dual carriageway and you can find yourself in some pretty tricky situations within the blink of an eye.
Aquaplaning may sound like an Extreme Sport but it’s actually a dangerous hazard on waterlogged roads and can have you gliding across the road like Torvill minus Deane as quick as you can say, “skating on extremely thin ice”. And that’s even without thinking about icy road conditions. Brrrrrrr!
No, I don’t really like winter driving. It’s dark, dangerous and downright dastardly. Yep, I think I’ll keep walking in a winter wonderland – and I’ll keep my women’s car insurance intact by only driving in good weather.
