I went to post a letter on my way back from work & what a nightmare!!

The postbox is by shops on a carpark with only one exit which is quite steep, i got down ok & parked up but tryed to drive out the exit & bloody thing would`nt drive in a straight line kept crabbing sideways actually thought i was stuck!

In the end i managed to reverse back & made a last ditch attempt to get out carpark by taking a run at it & as i hit the slope my wheels were spinning like hell but i just nailed it anyway & managed to get out which was very lucky given how slippey it was!

Been a right pain for me today in the 3 ton work van. Got stuck on the slightest hill in thick snow. Was frozen black ice underneath.

Had to call one of the other lads out to come and help dig me out. Got my van free then his van was stuck. Dug his out then mine was stuck again. Bloody nightmare. Took us an hour and half in the end to get out of a street about 300 yards long.
