What’s the Perfect Snow Car?

It’s Got to Be Perrrrfect.

pop quiz: the lyric above is from what song and artist? clue: roundabouts with magnetism.

Come winter and the first signs of snow, the news on every channel in the UK is about snow car chaos; airports are closed, schools are closed, roads are closed – and who’s fault is this? “Not mine” seems to be the public response.

The average UK resident seems to think it is their right to drive a silly little car, without snow tyres, in all conditions, on all roads.

Move to Europe, and residents take responsibility; firstly they buy vehicles suitable for the conditions, secondly they fit snow tyres, thirdly they clear snow off the roads; and hence business carries on as usual.

Take Rupert at the Alpengasthof Streuböden in Fieberbrunn, he lives on the mountain, but he has a son who needs to go to school everyday, so he has the perfect snow car; one that does the job:

Mountain rescue vehicles; same story, they have vehicles suited to the job.

Now I’m not suggesting everyone in the UK goes out and buys the perfect snow car, but take some responsibility. Get Winter tyres, clear the snow off your own drive and carry a shovel.
