As Andrew has rightly pointed out, it needs to be drummed in until their ears start bleeding. Unfortunately, these people still won't listen even if you hit them in the face with incontrovertible evidence.
It annoys the hell out of me because I quite like a drive in the snow and its idiots that spoil it. Its not because the snow makes roads impassable, its the complete eejits who get stuck and block the roads. Our roads are a mess due to the standard of driving. Accidents would fall if the powers that be focussed on educating drivers rather than pursuing the speed kills mantra.

This is another example of the complete ignorance of people and that picture Robert makes me want to find and slap some sense into that driver.
I'm going to stop before I give myself an aneurysm.
So good to hear that others see the problem as I do !!
I needed to go into Brum yesterday, there had been snow and it was snowing but I wouldn't have had a problem, except that is for the risk of the muppets bringing the roads to a standstill !! So I aborted the plan and stayed home.
Most drivers these days are clueless, which is why the new driving test requires the identification of basic service items under the bonnet. This is because many people think they can drive a car between the now very extended service intervals without checking under the bonnet.
Many drivers can't change a wheel, or even check engine oil level and top up if required !
And what happened to blokes over the last 10 years ??!! It must be all the ridiculous male grooming products that have affected their practical senses !! I'm ashamed of the male species when I talk to some blokes and they make imbecility a virtue when it comes to getting their hands dirty !
Good grief, that turned into a bit of a rant didn't it !
PS, anyone noticed all the cool new emoticons ??!!
