    That road must be on a slope. Once you go beyond the angle of friction the car will slide to the bottom regardless.

    My mate once parked his car on ice on a Hill and went in the pub. A few minutes later a blokes walks in saying "What baboon parked a car like that" They went out to find that the car had slid across into the middle of road.

    Lol you thought the yanks would know better by now.

    No way. Every time there is a bit of snow you see loads of pictures on the TV of cars going off the road, or sliding down hills into other cars. To be fair it is usually in areas where they are not used to it: Seattle, or the South. I was in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago where many roads are generally snow covered from December to March and you wouldn't see anything like that; of course it helps that Minneapolis is flatter than East Anglia!

      Exceptional warmth for western Europe as October begins

      There'll be exceptionally warm temperatures for the time of year affecting much of western Europe during the coming days, but that warmth will only graze the UK for now. Next weekend may see a more direct hit with the potential for southerly winds to draw some of that heat north and take temperatures into the mid or high-twenties. Read the full update here
