You're better off in a 206 than something like a BMW anyway... Front wheel drive rules in snow! |
That reminded me, i saw someone pull out of a drive onto a main road in a Range Rover, obviously thinking the snow and ice would make no difference to them.. ended up sliding across the road backwards... since nobody got hurt it was actually pretty entertaining

Handbrake on every bend when snow coverage is 1cm+
Remember to correct.

takeing your time is key! use the engine to slow you down instead of the brakes, and dont use too much acceleration when pulling away, you wont get far, lol.
this year is going to be a good test for me, after driving cars in the winter for years, this will be my first year of driving trucks in it, so when your worrying about trying to stop your 206, have a think for me in my 12 ton iveco lol.

About the chains or the spec 2s?  |
spec2  |
TBH Spec 2's are awsome in the snow, best tyre ive ever had for snow driving if its wet however they are s**te |
Haha - Everyone hates them in the wet, I love them! Slightly lively but I never feel I'm not in control, suppose we all drive differently.
Hopefully this winter wont be as bad, wish global warming would hurry up and turn the UK into Miami

if in any doubt dont risk it iv had an old van iv used in bad weather for the last few years so the 180 was safe from ice related incidents
have now swapped the van for a cheap 206 auto i got offered at a price i couldnt refuse so looking forward to testing out the snow mode on the auto gearbox this year haha

mine used to do perfect slides at 15mph in second gear it's all about the learning how your car reacts!

Never when your just trying to stay on the road. Only for fun/learning in big empty areas if you want.
